AZELIA

Azelia, fine wines of the Langhe

Azelia was born in 1920, when Cavalier Lorenzo Scavino began making wine from part of the grapes produced from the family's vineyards, a small farm in the heart of the Langhe, in Castiglione Falletto.

His son Alfonso began with enthusiasm to bottle the Piedmontese wine produced and thanks to Luigi's father, Lorenzo, with perseverance and will, the wines were exported for the first time.

The Azienda Agricola Azelia, in the centre of the Barolo production area, today consists of 16 hectares and produces an average of 80,000 bottles per year. Luigi is supported by his wife Lorella and son Lorenzo, who now represents the fifth generation of wine producers. The family management is essential as it allows an extreme accuracy in every step of the production.

Great care is reserved for the work in the vineyards. The wine is made in the vineyard, from ancient vines, which produce very few bunches. The low yields are further reduced by the green harvest, which is essential to select the fruit, have uniform ripeness and impeccable quality.

A scrupulous attention in the cellar is fundamental, where respect for tradition does not exclude the contribution of modern techniques.
