Raffaella Bologna is a daughter of art, a third-generation winemaker in the family business. Her father Giacomo, also called "The King of Must," was the man who transformed Barbera.
“From his father he learned that happiness is an affair for simple hearts - reads on the page dedicated to her - A cellar full of friends, songs and bottles without thinking about the daily grievances".
This is quite an achievement for Raffaella who, together with her brother Giuseppe, now carries on a family mission, making some wines unique, such as The Brat e The Bricco dell Uccellone.
The work carried out by the Bologna family in the last paved the way for an entire generation of winemakers who have begun to more clearly appreciate the quality of a grape variety that was once considered minor and now identifies so many companies.
