TAVERNA ROBERTO

TAVERNA family estate was founded in the 1930-s by the grandfather of the current owner Roberto Taverna. He bought and planted vineyards in Neive, one of the 4 villages of Barbaresco DOCG area. The estate was among the first to bottle Barbaresco cru wines, like the “Cascina Slizza” one (now part of Gaia-Principe MGA) back in 1969 under the name of Vina Versio, the founder’s widow. The first estate’s “official” vintage is 2016 and since 2019, with the entry of a new winemaker, Taverna Wines has started to vinify the most part of the estate produced grapes.
