The history of the Bava winemaking family begins in Cocconato, a village that rises steeply along the slopes of Monferrato Astigiana. The Bava family has been growing vines in this area since 1600, and in 1911 the family built its first wine cellar in the same area.
Since then, more than a hundred vintages have passed, and six generations have followed a common wine story. Their wines are extremely appreciated in the world thanks to their top quality.
