Summer is drawing to a close, and in our winery, that can only mean one thing: it’s harvest time.<\/p>\n

Every year, the harvest is a magical moment for us.<\/p>\n

After months of care and attention, our grapes are finally ready to be harvested.<\/p>\n

This year, we’re halfway there: we’ve finished harvesting the white grapes from our Cocconato vineyards and we have begun to harvest our first Barbera bunches.<\/p>\n

This marks the 113th harvest for Bava family, over a century during which six generations have taken turns in the vineyards and the cellar.<\/p>\n

Piero Bava, part of the fourth generation, still recalls what this time of year was like when he was a child… “The beauty of the harvest lies in its romance,” he says.<\/p>\n

A lot of time has passed since that first Bava harvest, but the atmosphere in the winery and our passion remain unchanged.<\/p>\n
