The Cantina Di Barrò by Rini Elvira Stefania is a family-run wine grower whose production is around 18.000 – 20.000 bottles per year. The company, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 2019, has been managing the entire supply chain independently and for three generations: from planting the vineyards to marketing the wine.
The name of the company Di Barrò in the local dialect literally means ‘from barrels/of the barrels’ and refers to wooden barrels with a characteristic shape, belonging to the Valle d’ Aosta tradition which were used in the past to take the grapes squeezed by hand directly in the vineyard to the winery, as well as for the transportation of the wine for sale. Furthermore, the word barrò also summarizes the origins of the company because it is an acronym of the first letters of the surnames BARmaz and ROssan, former owners and in-laws of the current owner who, in the 1960s, continued the cultivation of the family vineyards and were among the first to boast the certification of Denomination of Controlled Origin Valle d’Aosta Torrette.
Since 2004 the company has been based in Château Feuillet, in the municipality of Saint-Pierre, and the vineyards extend for about three hectares mainly in Saint-Pierre, but also in the neighboring municipalities of Villeneuve, Sarre and Aymavilles. There is quite a wide range of wines produced, despite the size of the company.
