Thanks to the dream of three young brothers and love of the land, in 2000 "La Tribuleira", a small family farm, was founded.
In 1999 Mauro Gallo, after graduating at the Agricultural Technical Institute, and becoming a specialist in Viticulture and Oenology, together with his younger siblings Daniele and Elisa, decided to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather Eugenio, a historic cellerer in a well–known winery in the area.
The grounds of the company extend in the town of Santo Stefano Belbo, a small village of the Langhe characterized by its outstanding and historic vineyards, which do not allow high mechanization, but thanks to the sun, the exposure, and many efforts originate the flavors and aromas of our culinary tradition. From this all, the name "La Tribuleira" comes, that does not mean only to struggle in the true literary sense, but that wants to pay tribute to the sacrifices and hard work that are necessary to achieve and maintain these typical and unique products related to our culture.
Currently, about 8.5 hectares are planted with vines on a hillside area, which is divided into different types of vines: white Moscato 6.5 hectares, Chardonnay 0.35 hectares, Barbera 0.38 hectares, Nascetta 0.5 hectares and Albarossa 0.5 hectares.
The excellent exposure to south south–west is associated with a sandy soil with marl, a special microclimate and a production philosophy oriented towards the development of the grapes produce: winter short pruning and proper green pruning, thinning of excess grapes ect ... makes it possible to obtain red and white wines that are fragrant, harmonious and structured.
All wines are produced with traditional winemaking techniques employing the same philosophy adopted in the vineyard, that is, trying to find the right balance between technology and tradition to keep all the flavors of our land.
In 2000 they entered the market with two products: the Langhe D.O.C. Chardonnay and the king of the wines in the region, Moscato d’Asti DOCG, in which part of the grapes are sold to wineries in the area and part of selected grapes are processed in our winery.
In 2003 they expanded their range of wines producing a Barbera d’Asti DOC and a sublime Piemonte D.O.C. Moscato Passito in which only the better suited to drying grapes of Moscato are harvested; drying takes place within the premises of the company at controlled temperature and humidity, to obtain a concentrated liquor with the taste of ripe fruit and intense aroma.
In 2004 they increased their production again, planting two typical of Piedmont grape varieties: Nascetta and Albarossa are two native grape varieties in the region of Piedmont rediscovered within the past decade.
Nascetta is a white grape variety, suitable for producing fresh white wines with a fine bouquet.
Albarossa is a red grape variety, obtained in 1938 by Professor G. Dal Masso, crossing two varieties Nebbiolo and Barbera, perfect for producing rich and harmonious wines.
In order to introduce our wines and to taste them, we have created a special room: the cozy tasting room.
Here we invite visitors to sit down after a visit to the winery rooms to see the results of our work and to let you discover the aroma and flavor originating from the good traditions of the Langa.
