Founded in 1960 by a group of ten partners, this cooperative formed to compensate for the extreme parcelling out of the Carema grape-growing properties, an architectural jewel of the countryside with its arbours supported by attractive pillars (pilon) made of stone and lime.

The partners – now numbering more than 100, with about 70 contributing grapes – are all part-time grape growers, and their group continues to represent the survival of wine-making culture through production development, with wine production and ageing done communally, according to the most rational current oenological techniques. During 2013, the ageing cellar was remodelled, some outdated casks were removed and replaced with new ones in durmast from Slavonia, intended to contain the wine made from the Nebbiolo grapes, which get their name from the town at the entrance to the Aosta Valley.
