Cantina Tibaldi is the heartfelt project of sisters Monica and Daniela Tibaldi, who grew up surrounded by the beauty and biodiversity of Roero—an area that continues to inspire their work each day. Their deep-rooted passion for viticulture was passed down from their father Stefano and grandfather Tunin, paving the way for their decision to cultivate their own path in Pocapaglia. From the vineyard to the cellar to sharing their wines with the world, Monica and Daniela are involved in every step of the process—guided by tradition, driven by passion, and supported by the invaluable presence of their father in the fields.For them, winemaking is far more than a profession—it’s a way of life, a daily expression of love and dedication that goes beyond time.
