Giacomo Vico : The Fruit Does Not Fall Far From the Tree

Giacomo began producing all the typical wines of the Langhe and Roero areas, which sold by the barrels with metallic label from the cellar. Then the wines were sold in demijohns (glass containers of 54 liters). To date, Giacomo Vito still has numerous old labels of Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Freisa, Bonarda, Grignolino, and Brachetto.

In 1952, at the death of Giacomo, his son Dario ceased his father’s activity to devote himself full-time to the automobile field.

The premises and equipment were then rented at different times to two different companies that began to make wine under other brands.

In 1990, the grandchildren thought to restructure the old rooms used by the great-grandfather “Giacomo”. The most modern technologies are purchased for a correct vinification of the grapes, accompanied by wooden barrels for the aging of red wines. It became a family business once again.

In 1992, Corrado (grandson) and wife Anita with their son Alessandro, began to make wine under the name “Giacomo Vico”.

Animated by the same spirit of the founder, focusing exclusively on high-quality products and making grapes from the territory, the land of Roero, began a beautiful adventure made of great professional commitment but also of great satisfaction.
