A Family History Since 1888

The philosophy of a family that has shaped the history of the Fara Novarese territory

The History of the Prolo Family

The Fara territory has always been dedicated to viticulture, and the Prolo family has been a part of it from the beginning. At the beginning of the last century, great-grandfather Giuseppe, also known as "Cràvin," was already a small viticulturist in Fara. After the Second World War, the baton passed to his sons, Emilio and Carlo, known as "I Paita," who significantly expanded production by acquiring new vineyards such as Ochera, Al Mot dal Bataru, Mutin, Snori, Valfantin, Olinda, and later Vojabursi and Scurgun. Finally, Vigneta and Vignagrosa were added, making it a fully-fledged wine company.

The Company Today

In the 1970s, the cellar passed to Flavio, known as "al Paita," who successfully continued the family business until the end of the millennium.

Today, Christian, by investing in the restructuring of the vineyards and the expansion of a modern cellar, as well as opening a sales centre for typical Fara products, enhances the raw materials while fully respecting the environment, continuing the Prolo family's century-old tradition.

Cantinoteca dei Prolo offers excellent typical Piedmontese wines that have made quality and territoriality their strengths.
