Aurora wines are produced by Carlo and Bruno Volpi’s
enologist, Giuliano Noë, at Cantina Aurora in Tortona. The
Volpi winery was founded by Christiana Cairo Volpi at the
turn of the century. In 1914 her two sons continued her
initiative. The Volpi family had been in the restaurant
business, having owned both the Trattoria de Cappel Verde and
the Bar Venezia. Their passion for wine and food continues to
this day, with cousins Bruno and Carlo Volpi running the
winery. Although the Volpis’ produce an assortment of
famous Piedmontese wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco,
they are best known for Barbera and Cortese from the Tortona
Hills. |
