The historical label
The Pigato finds its historical origins in the Albenganese and then spread throughout Western Liguria. This is why we have chosen to label the splendid Church of San Giacomo and San Filippo located in the Municipality of Andora, the town where Marta’s father was born, to underline once again the vital link that exists between the wine, the territory, and our family.
