The clones are Nebbiolo Michet and Lampia, and the density is 5,000 vines per hectare (2,023 per acre), with a very low crop yield of 1.3 kg per vine. ‘Rapet’ means small grape in dialect.

It was founded by Romano Marengo in 1980 after a 30-year career in the wine industry, during which he dreamed of making his own terroir-driver wines. Today it is run by Romano’s children, Winemaker Giuseppe Marengo and Director of Operations, Paola Marengo. The Cà Romé philosophy is reflected in the name: Cà is short for casa, which means “home” and refers to Romano’s home and a winery that is run by a family, not a corporation.
