A splendid landscape of gentle hills disappearing far off into the mountains is completed by geometrically-patterned vineyards and enchanted castles. Treiso, seven kilometres from Alba, is an old village standing at the meeting point of five hills. Its name comes from the Latin word for three, "Tres", lying as it does in the vicinity of the third milestone from the original Roman town of Alba Pompeia.


The variety in the soil, formed by layers of more or less compact, brown- grey sand alternated with bluish-white calcareous marl, is what makes the wines grown on this land so unique. The quality of the wines therefore depends on nature - the sun, climate and soil - but also on the way in which the vines are grown and tended. This is why in making its wines the Abrigo winery only uses grapes selected from its own estate.
