Isolabella della Croce

In 2002, A dynasty of lawyers (in the Rolls of Milan since 1900) and a dynasty of manufacturers (since 1870 and of soldiers since 1804) decided to become wine-growers and wine-makers after the discovery of Loazzolo – a place of steep wooded sunny hills, in the incredible beauty of the Langhe, where they make wines of an incomparable flavor and aroma.

Lodovico Isolabella: (50 years as a criminal lawyer in Milan) He couldn’t resist the captivation of the harmony between flavors and aromas which seem to transmit the enchantment of the place to one’s sense of smell and taste. He became a wine-grower and wine-maker with his wife and manager of the agency, Maria Teresa, by his side. In order to give the grapes and the wines a maximum qualitative level of excellence, their son, lawyer Ligi, collaborates with the P.A. Piero Maresa Novara and the P.E. Gianluca Scaglione; the vineyards and cellars are run by Mario Kovacovski’s love for efficacy.

The 50-year-old vineyards are embedded in the steep hillsides of a valley and are shielded from north winds. They are anywhere from 4 to 500 meters a.s.l. tall and they lie between the Bormida and the Belbo – where the hillsides protect them on both sides; they converge at the comune’s highest peak in Loazzolo which gives the name to the smallest DOC in Italy (perhaps in the world): the precious and very rare wine of the late harvest from the Muscat vine, which absorbs the abundance of sugars and its indescribable range of flavors and aromas from the complex frames, rich in minerals, the closeness of the wooded extensions, the rare pureness of the air, which is tepid in its natural refuge, and from the light breeze from the sea (“il marin”).
