About Demarie

Demarie is a small, family-owned winery in Vezza d’Alba in the heart of Piedmont’s Roero appellation. The winery is run by the third-generation, brothers Paolo and Aldo Demarie, who continue the family tradition of making organic wine from indigenous grape varieties. The family’s concern for the environment extends from the vineyards to a sustainable cellar where recycled water, solar panels, and an eco-friendly heating system are used.

The story of Demarie begins like others of those times: a man who believes in the potential of his territory, and who chooses to tell it through wine.  The man in question is Bartolomeo, Paolo’s grandfather, founder of the Demarie winery.  A bet – for the economy of that time – to invest in the wine sector; the first results, however, arrive quickly and, through challenges and satisfactions, Giovanni, Paolo’s father, is also involved in the company.

Since then the company has continued to grow on the solid foundations built by the grandfather, and with the philosophy that has always characterized our work: a genuine, traditional production, with a special attention towards protecting the biodiversity.

The choice of the company to vinify exclusively the grapes coming from its own vineyards guarantees the authenticity of the product.  Soft pressing, fermentation at a controlled temperature and aging in selected woods are aimed at enhancing the natural characteristics of the grapes while maintaining their aromatic integrity.

The cellar thus becomes the place of innovation and enhancement of what experience and tradition have been able to teach us over the years.  Here the wines follow their path from must to finished product, realizing the ideals of our family and the hard work done in the vineyard.
