Cantina Flori is located in the hills of Treiso, a small villaged in the province of Cuneo, a mile east of Alba. Their passion for viticulture has been passed down for four generations, and they make the traditional wines of the area: Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, Dolcetto d'Alba, and Langhe Arneis. They only recently started to bottle their own wines. The cultivation of the vineyards has always been carried out with a deep respect for nature, using the best low-impact technologies to minimize environmental harm. They are also certified under the SQNPI (National Quality System of Integrated Production), a production method that ensures the quality of their products . The wines are all farmed organically. At a time when wines from this area are getting riper and flashier, siblings Noemi and Michele Flori make wines the old-school way – with retraint, and elegance.
