Description: The Andrea Oberto winery has humble origins. Farming began in 1959 when the Oberto family bought a farmhouse in La Morra, Piedmont. At the time, the farmers couldn't survive by growing only vineyards, so they earned a living growing peaches and grapes and by raising cows. In 1978, Andrea's father died unexpectedly, so he inherited the family land and came home to manage the farm. Over the years, the demand for high quality wine increased and this encouraged many farmers like Andrea to focus solely on growing grapes. By devoting his time and energy to the vines, Andrea transformed a small farm into a wine company with 40 acres and a wine brand now sold all over the world.
