History: ”Giupa” is the name that Caven Vini wanted to give to this wine, produced with Nebbiolo grapes “ Chiavennasca” from the vineyard of the same name (Giupa) located in the municipality of Bianzone. Less than two hectares of vineyards, where Caven Vini leaves the grapes on the plant for a few days longer than in the traditional harvest period.
