To ensure social security, he granted them the noble title of Count of Mirafiore, a traditional title in Turin. His son, Count Emanuele di Mirafiore, founded the winery around 1870 and began marketing the wines of Casa E. di Mirafiore. However, Fontanafredda was more than just a winery: Emmanuele built workers' apartments and a school.\n\n The Mirafiore family's wine story sadly ended when it was sold to a bank during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Today, 70 years later, it belongs once again to the true Piedmontese, Messrs.
