Franco Conterno

In the heart of the Langhe countryside, in the Bussia di Monforte d'Alba district, is the Sascina Sciulun, a traditional Piedmontese farmhouse with local architecture. Grandfather Pietro dedicated the 18 hectares of land to the cultivation of the Nebbiolo grape, thus producing fine wines. In 1995, his son Giacomo and then his grandson Franco, together with his wife Vilma, took over the management of the winery, giving it its name and giving it the prestige it has today. For several years, Daniele and Andrea, Franco's two sons, have also been working in the family business, bringing a breath of fresh air and innovation to the winery and the vineyard.
