Family History
The Counts Brondelli di Brondello are an old Piedmontese family. They
originate from the area of Cuneo from the Brondello village in the
Bronda Valley where one can still see the remains of the medieval castle.
As early as 1138 Enrico di Brondello is mentioned in the land registry
as having bequeathed land to the abbey of Staffarda.
In 1696 Luca Brondelli was raised to the rank of count, taking the title
Conte di Brondello.
In 1836 Tenuta Guazzaura in Serralunga came into the possession of the
Counts of Brondello as part of the dowry of Lidia PortaBava on her
marriage to Giovanni Battista di Brondello. Tenuta Guazzaura has been
the property of the Counts of Brondello since then.
Towards the end of the 19th century Alberto di Brondello rebuilt parts
of the manor house and most of the outbuildings. The former main
approach to the manor house, a spectacular avenue of ancient protected
plane trees, provides an impressive starting point for walks in the
surrounding country-side.
Today Luca Brondelli runs the 370acre estate, growing crops, sugarbeet,
soya and, of course, wine.
The vineyards are optimally situated for the production of the highest
quality of the grape varieties Barbera DOC, Grignolino DOC and Pinot
Nero.
In 1998 Luca and his Austrian wife Marie-Helen renovated an old
farmhouse on the estate. “Ca’ d’la Nina” now offers great comfort with a
relaxed and intimate atmosphere.
Luca and Marie-Helen strive to take great care of their guests
themselves and are happy to organise wine tastings, truffle hunts and
culinary and cultural excursions.
