A benchmark estate in Alto Piemonte, Antoniolo was among the first to champion single-vineyard expressions of Gattinara in 1974, including Castelle, San Francesco and the monopole Osso San Grato, all aged as Riservas. Pioneered by Rosanna Antoniolo and today run by her children Alberto and Lorella.

In the tiny, picturesque mountain village of Roccavione, right on the border of France, two childhood friends have embraced their family heritage as distillers, creating quality products filled with love and fun, an idea personified by their delicious pastis, bitter, and amaro.
