Discover more about Hilberg Pasquero

Hilberg Pasquero is more than just a winery; it's a testament to the harmonious blend of tradition, innovation, and respect for nature. Located in Priocca, in the heart of the Roero region, the winery was established through the vision of Annette Hilberg and Michele Pasquero, who combined their expertise to invest in this land in the early 1980s. Initially, their agricultural practices were rooted in tradition, cultivating celery, leeks, corn, and hay. However, their academic backgrounds allowed them to experiment with innovative techniques like hydroponic farming, bumblebee pollination, and organic and biodynamic methods. Today, Hilberg Pasquero focuses on producing Barbera and Nebbiolo wines, paying homage to the terroir to which it belongs. The winery's philosophy extends beyond appellations, emphasizing the quality and identity of the wines produced. Some of their unclassified labels, such as the red Vareij and Rosato, are highly refined and fully represent the territory. Hilberg Pasquero's approach to viticulture centers on the inter-row, employing organic, biodynamic, and bioergodynamic principles to manage plant conflict and promote soil health. They preserve the unique characteristics of their vines by using very old mother vines to propagate new plantings. A visit to Hilberg Pasquero offers an immersive experience, allowing visitors to delve into the territory's geology, winemaking techniques, and the winery's history. Guests can choose between guided tastings, where they can learn about each wine, or "free" tours for a more independent exploration.
