In 1920 Gentleman Lorenzo Scavino began to vinify part of the grapes prodouced in the vineyards by his family, a small peasant reality in the heart of Langhe, in Castiglione Falletto.
His son Alfonso began with enthusiasm to bottle the wine produced and thanks to Luigi’s father, Lorenzo, with perseverance and will, the wines were exported for the first time.
Azienda Agricola Azelia, in the center of the production area of Barolo, today consists of 16 hectares and produces an average of 80,000 bottles per year. Louis is helped by his wife Lorella and their son Lorenzo, who now represents the fifth generation of winemakers. The family management is essential as it allows an extreme accuracy in every step of production.
Great attention is paid to the work in the vineyards. The wine is made in the vineyard, from ancient vines, which produce very few clusters. The low yields are further reduced by green harvesting, which is essential to select the fruits, to have a uniform maturation and an impeccable quality.
Fundamental is a scrupulous attention to the wine cellar where respect for tradition does not exclude the contribution of modern techniques.
