HISTORY
The Rovebella by F.lli Ribul winery has ancient origins and a young and dynamic present. The name Rovebella comes from the spring that has been irrigating the Aregai area, in Western Liguria, for centuries now.
The spring, surrounded by oak trees, is called “Rove” in dialect, which means “oak tree”.
The Rovebella Winery was founded in 2016 by the two brothers Walter and Nicola. Nevertheless, it is deeply rooted in the past. At the end of the 18th Century, Nicola Garibaldi gave rise to this tradition, by purchasing several plots of land in the Aregai area of Western Liguria. With his family, he devoted himself to farming vegetables, citrus fruits and olives.
Back then, his family thrived, thanks to the possibility of irrigating the sunny land with water coming from the Rovebella spring, with excellent chemical-physical properties.
RIBUL BROTHERS
After World War II, Angela Garibaldi, Walter and Nicola’s grandmother, inherited the land between the towns of Santo Stefano al Mare and Cipressa, and devoted herself to the flower industry – a thriving economy after the war – along with her husband Giovanni.
Their daughter Anna Maria continues the family enterprise, and in 1970 she marries Franco Ribul, from the Cadore region. Here is where Walter and Nicola’s last name – Ribul -comes from. After taking over the family company in 2000, they decide to change their production, due to the progressive crisis of the flower industry.
Passionate about wine, just like their grandfather, they approach wine growing and they plant the first Pigato and Granaccia varieties in 2013. The following year, they add the historical Moscatello di Taggia variety and found the Associazione Produttori Moscatello di Taggia, along with other members.
Since then, the wine company has grown, preserving the bond with its territory and the family traditions.
Today the Ribul brothers produce and sell high quality wines.
