In the historical land register of La Morra there is an entry on Obertus, a name of Germanic origin. The winery in La Morra has been owned by the Oberto family since 1876. Luigi Oberto set up the business in the early sixties and celebrated his first great successes. Since the beginning of the 90s, his children Marco and Paola manage this small fine winery. Altogether the Obertos grow wine on approx. 10 ha. The locations are all historic Crus in La Morra and carry famous names such as Roggeri, Capalot, Rocchettivino, Bricco San Biagio and Rive.
