A splendid landscape of gentle hills disappearing far off into the mountains is completed by geometrically-patterned vineyards and enchanted castles. Treiso is an old village in Barbaresco, 7km from Alba. It is the meeting point of five hills. The name comes from the Latin word for “three”. “Tres” lies as it does in the vicinity of the third milestone from the original Roman town of Alba Pompeia. This is where Orlando Abrigo has been making wine for generations.

In 1988 Giovanni Abrigo began working alongside his father, Orlando, in the family business. Giovanni set out first-of-all to implement technical improvements in the winery, with the aim of producing wines of character. Subsequently, the estate was extended with the acquisition of land and vineyards. Today, Orlando Abrigo farms around 20 hectares of vineyards.

The variety in the soil, formed by layers of more or less compact, brown-grey sand alternated with bluish-white calcareous marl, is what makes the wines grown on this land so unique. The quality of the wines therefore depends on nature - the sun, climate and soil - but also on the way in which the vines are grown and tended. This is why Orlando Abrigo only uses grapes selected from its own estate.

“Our work is a journey, a skillful interweaving of heart, mind and passion.”
