Gèva Pigato Rivera Ligura di Ponente DOC 2023

Durin is a family-run business that has distant origins, when at the end of the 19th century Isidoro Basso decided to cultivate a first plot of land in the Arroscia Valley, an area rich in history, culture and beautiful natural landscapes. And it was here, in the municipality of Ortovero, where the Basso family originated, that Isidoro sowed the seeds of what years later would become the Durin winery, and which owes its name to him - a man of imposing bulk whom everyone in the village ironically calls 'Isidurin' (isidorine). As often happens in these parts, in Liguria as elsewhere, cultivated land is passed down over the years from father to son. The current winery, located in Ortovero in the province of Savona, was founded in 1978 by Antonio Basso, the third generation of winegrowers in his family. Today the vineyards extend over 17 hectares, mostly terraced, in the Arroscia Valley. The main indigenous varieties of western Liguria are cultivated, thanks to a very special microclimate, influenced by the hills and the sea just 7 kilometres away. A family that in its production combines tradition and innovation to obtain wines with a unique character.
