The Rosso & Scanavino family

Five generations on the same hills above Alba.

A legacy that began in the late 1800s with Cesare Rosso and Carlo Scanavino — vineyards, hazelnut groves, prized cattle, and from the very beginning, soil nourished by what the land already gave back. This is how it became a company that puts a container on every farm that wants one.

The Rosso & Scanavino legacy

A legacy from the hills of Piedmont.

In the rolling hills of Piedmont, near Alba, the Rosso Scanavino families have cultivated the land for five generations.

Where it began

Cesare Rosso and Carlo Scanavino planted the first vineyards, hazelnut groves, and plum orchards in the hills above Alba. Alongside the crops, they raised prized cattle — and from the very first season, they nourished the soil with the manure of their cows. Organic, by instinct, before the word existed.

Through the generations

Refined, never replaced

Each generation deepened the craft. Fine wines that reflect the unique terroir of Alba. Expanded hazelnut production. Premium livestock. A commitment to natural methods that has never changed — only evolved, season after season, hand to hand.

Today

Heritage meets modern science

The fifth generation continues this legacy, enriching the land not only with traditional cattle manure, but with innovative natural inputs — live-microbial, catfish-based nutrients grown on the family’s own farms. A new tool for the same old commitment: feed the soil, and the soil will feed you.

Rosso & Scanavino — five generations of organic excellence.

The fifth generation

Continuing the work, together.

What Cesare Rosso and Carlo Scanavino started together in the late 1800s, the fifth generation runs together too. Thomas from the Rosso family. Pietro and Giacomo from the Scanavino. Three lives, two families, one method — the same hills above Alba, the same soil, the same way of feeding it.

Scenes from the work

From the family

Why we built a company.

Five generations on the same hills above Alba taught us something simple: the soil that fed our great-great-grandfather’s vineyards still feeds ours, because we never stopped feeding it. From the very beginning, we farmed organically — the manure of our cows, season after season, into the same earth.

We watched the farms next door take a different road — more chemistry, more chemistry, and more chemistry every year, just to stand still. We were never going to take that road. But we wanted every farmer to have what we had: living soil, fed by living inputs.

When we found a closed-loop containerized aquaculture system that produces fish AND a live-microbial fertilizer with full NPK on the same footprint, we did the math. We then put one on our farm. Then another. Then we built a company — together, as the Rosso and Scanavino family farms — to put one on every farm that wants one.

We don’t sell containers. We share what we’d put on our own family’s land — at a price, on a path, that lets a working farmer own one without having to sell the field to pay for it.
