Coming Up
Since 2019, Aldo Demarie has held the combined post of titolare and winemaker at Demarie in Vezza d'Alba. The arrangement puts ownership and cellar work in the same hands, so the decisions that shape the house also shape the wines. It is a role built on repetition, seasonal judgment, and the day-to-day discipline required to keep a winery coherent from one harvest to the next.
Where They Are Now
The title is not just administrative; it ties the business to the bottle. Aldo Demarie’s work sits where management and production meet, with the practical demands of running the house alongside the attention needed in the cellar. That makes the position hands-on by definition: the estate framework is one part of the job, and the sensory, technical work of guiding the wines is the other. The estate’s agricultural and varietal frame gives that work its boundaries. Within those stated practices, the role is one of continuity and exactness, with the identity of the house carried through place, method, and the finished wine rather than through display. For Demarie, the craft reads as steady alignment between the vineyard, the cellar, and the label.
Signature
Aldo's signature wines include Barolo DOCG, Sabbia, Luigi Rosato Pét-Nat, Luigi Bianco Pét-Nat, and Barbera d'Alba Superiore Doc 2016. Taken together, they show a maker working across different registers while keeping the house identity legible. Barolo DOCG brings the most structured frame in the set, while the two pét-nat bottlings point to a lighter, more immediate expression. Sabbia and Barbera d'Alba Superiore Doc 2016 extend that range without breaking it, giving the lineup breadth while keeping it anchored to the same producer name.
