Fraz. Annunziata 115 La Morra CN | T. +39 3331774175
History
It all begins in ‘900 when a man dedicated to hard work who served as a sharecropper in a farmhouse located in Strada Ballerini in Alba. Back in La Morra, the people close to him and subsequently the whole town began to call it “the guy from Ballarin “: a Piedmontese distortion of the name of the street.
In 1928 Pietro Viberti “Ballarin” builds the CASCINA BALLARIN. For many years it was structured as a real farm of those times: there was a stable, a barn, animals, fruit trees and vineyards. In the ‘50s the farm begins to grow with the arrival in the farmhouse of Luigi Viberti “Ballarin”, grandson of Pietro and father of Giorgio and Giovanni. In 1985 thanks to the will and dedication of Luigi and his sons Giorgio and Giovanni, Cascina Ballarin becomes a winery through specialization in viticulture and winemaking. The stable, the warehouse areas and the barns take on new life, becoming a full-fledged cellar. The Cascina Ballarin winery is born, grows and lives. In 2013 Alberto grows up and decides to turn his passion into his work. He joins the company with his father Giorgio and his uncle Gianni At the end 2021, following a conscientious decision, the brothers Giorgio and Giovanni decide to divide the company after 30 years of great teamwork. ALBERTO BALLARIN winery is born.
