Schiavenza

Founded in 1956 by brothers Vittorio and Ugo Alessandria in Serralunga d'Alba. The name recalls the sharecroppers who once worked this land for the Opera Pia Barolo. Today Luciano Pira, an agronomist, runs the estate with his family: about 8 hectares in Serralunga plus 3 in Perno, and roughly 55,000 bottles a year.
