    THE FARM TALIANO MICHELE IS LOCATED AT MONTÀ, IN THE LAND OF ROERO. IT HAS VINEYARDS NOT ONLY IN ROERO, BUT ALSO IN THE ZONE OF BARBARESCO, PRECISELY AT SAN ROCCO SENO D’ELVIO (ALBA).

    This estate was born in 1930 with Domenico Taliano, but its roots are deeper. In fact Domenico belongs to a family of farmers who were dedicated to work in vineyards and fields, known in Montà with the nickname of “Re Cit” that in piedmontese dialect means “Little Kings”. In that period all the vineyards were close to Montà, in zones called Bossola, Rolandi, Benna.

    In the mid-seventies, the estate grew again towards Langhe by means of Domenico’s son, Michele. He bought the vineyards and a farmhouse at the locality named Montersino, close to San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, a small fraction of the capital of Langhe, Alba, and between the villages of Treiso and Barbaresco.

    Twenty years later, in the mid-nineties, two of the four Michele’s sons, worked on improving the winery. Alberto armed with some work experiences outside the farm, reformed and improved the methodologies of the grape production and refinement of the wines. At the same time, Ezio helped with the renovation and also took part as an oenologist for the wines production.

    Today the farm Taliano Michele can count on 12 hectares of vineyards that give several wines different style of wines.
