CIABOT BERTON, di Oberto Marco

	Ciabot Berton is situated in La Morra, in the heart of the Barolo production zone. Its name comes from an old house, the ruins of which still lie in the Roggeri vineyard near the winery. They say that, during the last century, the owner, who went by the name of Berton and was a rather original character, caused a huge explosion while making fireworks, lifting the roof off the house.
Luigi Oberto, owner of the company, has been cultivating his vineyards and making Barolo since 1960. He’s helped by his children Marco, an oenologist, and Paola, an agronomist. The area cultivated with vineyards covers about 12 hectares, 8 of which are cultivated with Nebbiolo da Barolo and the remainder with Barbera and Dolcetto.
