“Find you once again in the shade of the fig tree, where the vine embraces the sky…”
In 2013 Clemente Guasti’s nephew Enrico Piantato, decided to leave the legal profession to pursue his dreams and continue the long family tradition.
The fertile land of Casalotto di Mombaruzzo, the birthplace of his grandfather, together with the wonderful climatic conditions favour the cultivation of grapes and other fruits such as figs and olives.
And it is precisely the memory of the fig tree, under which his grandfather Clemente used to rest, which is the source of inspiration for the birth of “Laficaia”.
And so the fig tree, fruit and tree, symbol of immortality and fertility, sacred to Dionysus, the God of wine, is destined to remain an emblem of life capable of uniting the earth to heaven.

Awarded Gold by Singapore Newspaper
Barbera is the third most planted grape in Italy. The grape has its origin in the Piedmont, near Monferrato. Here he is cherished by winemakers, because he gives good yields and is fairly easy to grow. In the Langhe they say: “Barbera is the wine you drink while the Nebbiolo is maturing”.
Tasting note
