On the 15th of May, 1841, the office of the Royal Military Command of the Province of Alba granted to Luigi Costamagna, the son of founder Francesco Antonio Costamagna, an official license “to retail the wines produced from his own vineyards in La Morra”.
It is the first document that testifies the winemaking activity of the company. 

At the end of the 1960s Maddalena’s granddaughter, Claudia Ferraresi took the fate of the winery into her hands. A painter, a woman of grand culture, and an event organizer, along with her husband Giorgio Locatelli, she took a chance on Barolo and high-quality wine-making.

The 1980’s mark the entrance of the present owner, Alessandro Locatelli, into the winery.
At that time Barolo wine was beginning to reveal its potential on international markets and establish itself among the most appreciated and prestigious red wines of the world. What followed was a period dedicated to the amelioration of winery practices and vineyard management.
Those were years of experiments and innovations, but, above all, of growing our experience in finding and settling the techniques that could emphasize the already incredible characteristics of La Morra terroir and the distinctive personality of Rocche dell’Annunziata.
