Clarea Vini di Montagna

L' azienda agricola Clarea nasce dall'idea di tre giovani imprenditori per la conservazione degli antichi vigneti di montagna della Valsusa esistenti già ai tempi dell impero romano, col passare dei secoli l'area particolarmente vocata a permesso la diffusione della viticoltura nella vallata alpina a quote decisamente alte, fino ai mille metri. Nel 1999 vennero piantati i primi vigneti dei vitigni tradizionali Alpini Avana' e Becuet, su una superficie di 3 ettari in parte su terrazzamenti sostenuti da antichi muri in pietra, negli anni successivi furono impiantati altri 2 ettari di vigneto con le varietà tipiche piemontesi Dolcetto e Barbera. La gestione del vigneto nel rispetto dell' ambiente circostante, con trattamenti mirati e di basso impatto ambientale, lotta integrata che prevede solamente interventi in caso di necessità, la gestione agronomica funzionale e con potatura a guyot esaltano al meglio le caratteristiche organolettiche delle uve. Con la costruzione della nuova cantina in località Maddalena è stato possibile vinificare le proprie uve con le più innovative tecnologie per esaltare al meglio la produzione tipica territorio. Dal 2011 è presente un punto vendita aziendale nel centro storico del comune di Susa, importante centro turistico per i suoi reperti romani, dove è possibile acquistare degustare non solo i vini aziendali, ma anche i vini e i prodotti tipici del territorio piemontese.

Azienda Agricola Gallina Pierino

Producing the best Langhe wines since 1880. Our winery Azienda Agricola Gallina Pierino is located in Santo Stefano Belbo among the beautiful hills and the peculiar rural villages of the Langhe. We’ve been producing excellent wines for more than 140 years. Our winery was born in 1880 and has grown as a family run farm until now with the 5th generation of producers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- La centenaria esperienza nella lavorazione delle viti e nella vinificazione, unita all’equilibrio tra tradizione e nuove tecnologie, conferiscono ai nostri vini una impeccabile qualità. Tra le splendide colline delle Langhe, immersa tra i ridenti paesaggi rurali sorge l’Azienda Agricola Gallina Pierino. La cantina a conduzione famigliare, affonda le sue radici nel paese di Santo Stefano Belbo, in Piemonte, già dal 1880 e si sviluppa fino ad oggi con la quinta generazione di vinificatori. La principale risorsa economica del paese e dei dintorni è la coltivazione della vite. Santo Stefano Belbo è inoltre conosciuto in tutto il mondo per aver dato i natali al noto scrittore e poeta Cesare Pavese, e attorno alla sua figura sono state create anche importanti istituzioni. Il luogo in cui ha origine l’Azienda Agricola Gallina Pierino però rappresenta più di ogni altra cosa il cuore del pregiato Moscato d’Asti prodotto esclusivamente in questa zona. La terra qui è per lo più composta da tufo leggero, chiaro e talvolta sabbioso, funzionale per trattenere l’umidità necessaria alla vite. Il tipo di uva che ne deriva, genera il Moscato d’Asti a Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita, uno dei vini più importanti d’Italia. L’Azienda Agricola Gallina Pierino nasce nel 1880 con Carlo, ideatore e creatore dell’omonima Azienda Gallina Carlo & Figli. Il primo fondatore, con iniziativa e volontà riuscì a far conoscere ed apprezzare fin da subito i suoi prodotti, diventando un rinomato produttore ed esportatore di vino. Con il tempo acquisì posizioni di rilievo non solo nella sua azienda ma anche a livello sociale fondando la Cantina Sociale Cattolica e la Cassa Rurale acquisendone la presidenza. L’Azienda e la passione per il vino vengono poi trasmesse al figlio Giovanni che insieme al gemello eredita la casa e l’azienda paterna. Dall’unione tra Giovanni e Maria Adelaide nascono quattro figli, per un periodo tutti loro presero parte alla conduzione della cantina che poi però venne intitolata a Pierino, il quale tutt’ora vive e lavora nella sua adorata azienda. Dei tempi passati ci rimangono, oltre che preziosi insegnamenti, alcuni attrezzi che venivano usati per la raccolta, la pigiatura e la vinificazione. Questi sono oggetti da noi esposti come piccolo museo nei cosiddetti ‘’crutin’’ ovvero piccole grotte sotterranee scavate nel tufo che fungevano da cantina. Nella nostra secolare Azienda collaborano oggi tre generazioni: il nonno Pierino, il papà Mauro e il nipote nonché attuale titolare, Luca. Il nostro più grande successo è probabilmente lo scambio reciproco di insegnamenti, nuove tecniche, esperienza e sogni futuri che caratterizzano la nostra piccola realtà. Ogni giorno ci dedichiamo ad un accurato lavoro occupandoci di tutta la produzione del vino, a partire dalla cura dei vigneti rigorosamente a mano, fino alla lavorazione dell’uva e all’imbottigliamento. La nostra cantina produce principalmente il rinomato Moscato d’Asti che copre il 70% di produzione dell’Azienda. I nostri prodotti sono naturalmente di alta qualità in quanto i vigneti hanno radici sui cosiddetti “söri” ovvero colline particolarmente pendenti favorite da una straordinaria esposizione al sole che si riflette sulle viti centenarie per quasi la totalità della giornata. Ad oggi poche cantine possono vantare una così privilegiata posizione e delle viti tanto antiche, caratterizzate cioè dalla produzione di una quantità ridotta di grappoli ma con una qualità nettamente superiore.

Costa dei Tigli

I nostri punti fermi: mamma Luciana e papà Fiorindo, ci hanno trasmesso il senso di appartenenza al territorio, l’amore per la cultura contadina e il desiderio di far conoscere il nostro mondo agli altri, trasmettendone i valori di cui è intriso.

Ultimo in senso temporale il progetto nato dall’idea di Bruna, Daniela e Giulia di realizzare, nell’area adiacente l’agriturismo, una cantina capace di una maggiore produzione in modo da soddisfare la crescente richiesta di vini DOC piemontesi di nicchia. Quest’ultima sarà dotata di impianti moderni che lavoreranno incessantemente al ritmo di: genuinità, qualità del prodotto, passione, storia e tradizione!

The eighties saw a great growth in grapes and wine’s production. Until 2000 our parents doubled the vineyard’s property to 10 hectares and began to sell bottled Barbera d’Asti DOCG, which represents the hard core of our production, and other DOC wines like Monferrato Dolcetto, Grignolino d’Asti, Piemonte Cortese and Monferrato. In Piedmont, where Langhe and Monferrato meet and in a “UNESCO World Heritage Site”, Costigliole d’Asti, stands the Costa dei Tigli winery and holiday farm. Our family’s pioneer in the production of excellent piedmontese wines was our maternal great-great-grandfather at the beginning of the 19° century in La Morra, the core of Barolo’s production. The seventies saw the birth of our family: Luciana and Fiorindo, our parents, met and settled down. That was also the point of departure of the actual winery. At that time the farm’s vineyards were about 5 hectares, inherited from parental grandparents and located in Costigliole d’Asti and Isola d’Asti… both land of excellent DOC a DOCG wines like Barbera d’Asti DOCG. 2018 will see a complete makeover of our wine’s production line. We reinvent ourself: new hand-drown labels, refurbishment of the old wine cellar, construction of a new one with the enlargment of the production area. Visit us and discover our breathtaking land! In Piedmont, where Langhe and Monferrato meet and in a “UNESCO World Heritage Site”, Costigliole d’Asti, stands the Costa dei Tigli winery and holiday farm. In the heart of an uncontaminated nature you can taste dishes and typical products home-made, delight yourself with home-produced wines and stay in rustic rooms equipped with every comfort. The Costa dei Tigli holiday farm is the best location for a relaxing and peaceful holiday during your trip to Piedmont. The landscape, the cuisine, the wine, the ospitality and the family atmosphere that will welcome you, will remain in your heart.

Cantina Fontechiara

Inspired by an innate love of the land, a number of years back our family decided to return to our origins and revive the wine-making tradition of earlier generations. The new vines were planted on the extreme eastern slopes of the Novara Hills, in areas particularly suited for growing the local grape varieties of Nebbiolo and Vespolina, and we adopted methods designed to give priority to achieving fruit of the highest quality. Organic fertilization, low yields per hectare and drastic selection in the vineyards lead to the perfectly matured grapes used in making our winewhere we follow a traditional approach employing advanced technology. The resulting wines exalt the particular characteristics of each grape. We avoid using chemicals, which are harmful to the soil, the vines and end up as residue in the wine, convinced that this is best for both the health of our planet and of those who drink our wines, which are all "natural”, each produced from a single grape variety.

Ca 'd Tantin Organic Wines

Our Organic Certified Celler and almost 4 hectares of vineyards are located in Calosso, in the province of Asti in Piedmont, and is part of the “Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont UNESCO World Heritage Site". Our goal, given the limited number of bottles produced, is of course quality, starting from the care of the vineyards to reaching the cellar, combining tradition and innovation. From 2015, bottles of all types of wine have been numbered by hand to emphasise the craftsmanship, the care and the passion that we have for our products. We are a family of four generations producing wine, from our great-grandfather, Costantino ("Tantin" in Piedmontese dialect), until today. Together with my brother Andrea, we carry on the family tradition with passion. Since 2001, all our wines have had organic certification. - We let the grass grow between the rows and from time to time we cut it with the shredder: no herbicides are used that would pollute the soil and inevitably end up in the wine. - We practise green manure, which consists of ploughing through various species of grass to increase the organic matter in the soil and the nitrogen content. - Almost everything is done by hand or with the help of a hoe and shears. - Before harvesting, we pass between the rows and thin out the grapes, leaving only the healthiest and most beautiful bunches, so that they express the maximum once ripe, improving the organoleptic characteristics of the wine. - Some of our vineyards are historic: planted by our grandfather more than seventy years ago, they still manage to give us excellent vintages. - During the harvest, the grapes are hand-picked by our family carefully selecting the bunches (without any help from external co-operatives). - Soft pressing with a wooden press: you get less wine, but you keep high quality. - Fermentation in a conical trunk wooden tank for some red wines: thus improving micro-oxygenation during fermentation, enhancing the organoleptic characteristics of wines. - No use of animal origin products, so our wines are suitable for a vegan diet. - Low concentration of sulphites. - The energy expenditure for the house and the cellar, and consequently the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere, is cut down thanks to the photovoltaic system installed on the farm in 2010. In short, we will do our utmost in everything to make you feel good!

Cascina San Siro

Da generazioni la nostra famiglia si occupa di viticoltura e di allevamento, ma è dai primi anni 80', quando l'azienda passò nelle mani di Vincenzo che si decise di tralasciare il bestiame per dedicarci alla vinificazione. Intuizione brillante che ne ha portato la crescita dell'azienda, e che oggi forti di un'esperienza di quasi quarant'anni ci permette di produrre ogni anno oltre 700 quintali di vino di gran qualità. Dal 2017 l'azienda viene rilevata dal figlio di Vincenzo, Davide, ed è qui che nasce cascina Cascina San Siro, passando da "Azienda vitivinicola Ghione" all'attuale nome, che prende ispirazione dalla vallata sulla quale si affaccia, ed in cui sono situati la maggior parte dei terreni di nostra proprietà. All'interno della vallata sorge una chiesetta dedicata all'omonimo vescovo, il quale si narra che nel II secolo d.C. fondò la prima comunità cristiana in questi luoghi. Da generazioni la nostra famiglia si occupa di viticoltura e di allevamento, ma è dai primi anni 80', quando l'azienda passò nelle mani di Vincenzo che si decise di tralasciare il bestiame per dedicarci alla vinificazione. Intuizione brillante che ne ha portato la crescita dell'azienda, e che oggi forti di un'esperienza di quasi quarant'anni ci permette di produrre ogni anno oltre 700 quintali di vino di gran qualità. La maggior parte dei nostri 15 ettari di vigneti sono destinati alla coltivazione della Barbera, vino di punta della nostra zona, ma trovano spazio anche altri grandi rossi come Nebbiolo, Dolcetto e Grignolino. Quattro sono invece gli ettari destinati a vigneti a bacca bianca, suddivisi tra Moscato, Arneis, Chardonnay e Cortese. Ci trovate in fraz. Sant'Anna di Costigliole d'Asti, il comune con la superficie vitata più estesa del Piemonte, posizionato tra le suggestive colline di Langhe e Monferrato, diventate patrimonio dell'Unesco, in cui nelle giornate di sole fa da sfondo il maestoso arco alpino dal Monviso al Monte Rosa; Non solo i paesaggi ma anche la tradizione enogastronomica, il centro storico ed il Castello ne fanno in luogo da visitare assolutamente. For generations, our family is employed in viticulture and breeding, but from 80’, the farm became of Vincenzo and he decided to leave out the idea of breeding and to devote himself to the wine-making. After this important decision, his farm began to grow rapidly and that decision now, allows us to produce over 700 quintals of wine every year for over 40 years. Since 2017, the farm is relieved by Davide, the son of Vincenzo. From this moment, the farm takes a new name that’s the current name of the farm: “Cascina San siro”. This name is inspired by the valley where it leans out and where the farm had most of its land. Most of ours 15 hectares of vineyards are reserved for cultivation of barbera, the most important wine of our area, but we also have others kind of red wine as Nebbiolo,Dolcetto and Grignolino. In addition to red wine, we also have 4 hectares reserved for cultivation of white wine as Moscato, Arneis, Chardonnay and Cortese. You can find us at: frazione Sant’Anna of costigliole d’Asti, in the middle of the hills of Langhe and Monferrato, UNESCO’s heritage.

Boggero Bogge Wine

Boggero's Company was born in the late nineteenth century in the commune of Vaglio Serra (a small centre in the heart of Monferrato). Over the years it grows, but it is only a few years after World War II that begins to evolve, both in the production of wines, both in that of fruits and vegetables. Today it has about 18 acres of land divided between vineyards, vegetable garden and fruit trees. Two wineries with vinification locals and storage, a wine-aging room, a washing and storage laboratory of fruits and vegetables, 2 Tasting rooms, Wine Shop are the headquarters of the company. In our cellar we produce a dozen appellations, among which stand out that of Barbera and Nizza, the jewels of our territory. The latter, which is closely linked to the history and the evolution, allows us to obtain great wines.

Botto

Botto family from more than a century run a very small estate in the zone of Piedmont called Roero. In soil rich in sand and on well sun exposed wineyards, we grow, by means of integrated agriculture, grapes full of perfums and colours. An artisanal and very careful process of winemaking transfers all the potential of grapes to the wine, giving elegance, equilibrium and richness in fruit.

RIZIERI

Rizieri is a family-run boutique winery located among the beautiful hills of the Langhe region. The vineyards, about 7.5 hectares located in La Morra (Silio cru) and Diano d’Alba, are the finest native species. Lying on a hillside calcareous and clayey soil, facing mainly south and surrounded by woods, they enjoy a unique microclimate, which, with its cool and temperate influences, allow optimal maturation of the grapes. The heart of the winery is the 19th century farmhouse with the nearby new cellar, inserted inside the hill and designed with the aim of maximizing energy savings. In the cellar as in the vineyards, we minimize our intervention so that each wine freely expresses its personality becoming the true reflection of its original grapes and terroir. Bottling is carried out with the minimum use of sulfites and without filtration to preserve aroma, color and taste. "We take care of the vines with the maximum respect for the environment and follow the work in the winery with patience and perseverance in order to achieve unique wines, that reflect the intense character and the elegance of their terroir and, at the same time, evoke the passion and the continuous pursuit of quality that animate those who produce them. Enjoy them with great food, family and friends!”

Cantina di Tortona

The winery was established in 1931, by a group of thirty-eight winegrowers, owners of medium and large-sized wineries. Their aim was to stop the migration from the countryside and to promote winegrowing as a noble and profitable activity. Today we are still proud of their commitment. Their acts are still an inspiration for today’s members which are facing the challenges of an increasignly selective market. As the winery was established European economy was facing a serious depression with an impressive number of bankruptcies of small and large private companies in Italy. The consequences were dramatic both in terms of unemployment and in terms of national and international sales with a drastic cut of wages and salaries of public and private workers and employees. In those years it became clear for Tortona’s winegrowers that only together they could face those challenging moments. Therefore the idea of setting up a cooperative winery was realized on 12 September 1931 with a public Act signed by the notary Massa Saluzzo. Founders of the project were farmers of Tortona area. Romolo Vimercati was the first winemaker of the Cooperative Winery and managed the Company from 1931 to 1961. Starting from the sixties the Winery’s achievement was giving recognition and prestige to local varieties and appelations. Among all Barbera and Cortese dei Colli Tortonesi, today’s most representative wines of the area. This was the beginning of our commitment to quality and promotion of our appelations. The microclimate of our Colli Tortonesi appellation area, in the south-east of Piedmont, together with the extraordinary soil of our vineyards allows the production of extraordinary wines, such as DERTHONA TIMORASSO, BARBERA, CROATINA , CORTESE and many more.

Vitivinicola Pierro

Azienda Vitivinicola Pierro 1266 – RIPULAE – 2016 WHO I AM I am Paolo Pierro, a proud citizen of Rivoli, on the outskirts of Turin, since my birth and the “vigneron” of this fascinating city in Piedmont. In my life courage and madness are two sides of the same coin in fact, after a first path in education and in the mechanical industry, in 2014 I embarked on a new life project by directing my energies and resources towards agriculture, more precisely in viticulture. This culminated in 2016 with the creation of my business: the Pierro Winery. This transaction, from two diametrically opposed worlds, can be more easily deciphered through one of my mottos: "winegrower by passion, producer by profession", because only passion can give you the courage to follow up on your vocation. The reason for existing of my project dates back to 1266, the year of the oldest written record of Nebbiolo production. In a roll of parchment, preserved in the historical archive of Turin, concerning the accounts of the Castellania di Rivoli the following sentence was reported: "De exitu vinearum de nibiol hoc anno (1266) ccc sexstari", translated "The production of Nebbiolo dell ' year is 125 Hl " This sentence reported in this document certifies one thing: Rivoli is the first known Italian cradle of Nebbiolo. I can proudly say, after many sacrifices, that since 2017 Nebbiolo has officially returned to its home, planting two new vineyards on the moraine hill. After just 750 years, I have brought this ancient tradition back to life. THE VINEYARDS AND OUR WINES The objectives of my projects are mainly aimed at Rivoli where, in addition to being present the new Nebbiolo plants, that is Raffaele vineyard and Angiolina vineyard, in 2020 vineyard Carmela was born, the first plant of Baratuciat the native white grape variety of the lower Val Susa saved from oblivion a few years ago and of which I am a proud supporter being a founding member of the association that protects it. The departure of the production in Rivoli, however, is due to the recovery of a small company, Vigna Renata, recovered from the abandonment in which we produce MORENICO, our red aperitif wine and PUNTO ZERO, a symbol of the difficulty of starting from scratch. Rivoli is the epicenter of the project, but out of necessity and opportunity we are present in two other territories. The Pinerolo area, where in Vigna Milva in the municipality of Macello we produce MASEL, the elegant 100% barbera. In the mountains, in Borgone di Susa where in the old Ederina vineyard, the last one left with all the stone poles and where the viticulture is almost like that of our grandparents, that is, entirely manual, we elaborate SAN NICOLAO, an incredible blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo. Finally we vinify dolcetto, our BOCÉT, which always finds its place in all banquets. FUTURE PROJECTS For me, the only possible agriculture is that which arises from the alliance between man and nature, so I try to follow the alliances that our ancestors have already successfully made in these lands. So, as with Nebbiolo, thanks to the written document that certifies its primacy and with Bararuciat, originating between the Almese-Villarbasse axis, I also pursued the recovery of another native grape variety, the "Brunetta di Rivoli". We are now at the very beginning of this project, but it could legitimately follow the successes of the Baratuciat. The first harvest of Nebbiolo di Rivoli took place in 2019 and is aging in barrique, so we are still a long way from discovering the first result of the most important project, but perhaps as early as 2021 the first bottle of NIBIOL can be uncorked, and it is then which you can write again: Ripulae: De exitu vinearum de nibiol hoc anno (2019) xii sexstari

“La storia della cantina Guidetti affonda le sue radici nel 1968 quando Luigi Guidetti decise di investire il suo talento nella coltivazione delle vigne di famiglia. La dimensione contadina e familiare dell'azienda ha fin da subito garantito un'attenzione alla qualità dei prodotti. L'avvento degli anni '80 e la conduzione dell'azienda in mano alla nuova generazione ha spinto le scelte commerciali oltre il territorio locale e ha arricchito la lista delle etichette proposte. Oggi i nipoti di Luigi: Claudio, Marcello e Marco Guidetti sotto l'occhio attento ed esperto di Cesare e Filippo sono in costante ricerca della qualita', tra tradizione e innovazione c'è l'impegno di esprimere al meglio le caratteristiche tipiche dei vini forti e generosi che e' capace di donare la terra del Piemonte.” La nostra produzione: - Boca doc - colline novaresi doc bianco “coste dell imperatore” - colline novaresi doc rosso “l’imperatrice - colline novaresi doc rosato “l’amante - colline novaresi doc nebbiolo “la luna nera” - colline novaresi doc vespolina “l’eremita” - colline novaresi doc Barbera “la papessa” - colline novaresi doc croatina “la temperanza” Il Boca è il fiore all’ occhiello delle nostre zone...

Reconnecting people with nature and with each other: This is Ca' Mariuccia's founding principle.

Cascina Longoria

In all these years thanks to the purchase of new lands and the integration of new activities for the wine production, our vinery has never stopped expanding and renewing. Giovanni Toso bought Cascina Longoria in 1894. Cascina Longoria is a historical farmhouse located at the Eastern hill of Neive – a beautiful hamlet surrounded by vineyards. From here, our wine story has begun. At the time all our fields were used for agricultural activities like for example the wheat cultivation and cattle farm. As for the vineyards, they were mostly used to produce home-made wine and the rest of the grapes was sold at the grape market. Carlo, who is Giovanni’s youngest son, had three sons named Natale, Giovanni and Antonio. The three brothers together agreed to concentrate their resources in the wine trade and so they bought another farmhouse called “Malvirate” and a new vineyard “Saccati”, both in the near village “Castagnole delle Lanze”. From “Saccati” and thanks to its strategical location, they decided to start the production of the sweet, perfumed and pleasant Moscato wine. The wine market is growing fast and soon Cascina Longoria is popular on national level. However, Natale is the only one from the three brothers to get married. His sons are Carlo and Corrado and nowadays they take care of the vinery. In 1979, Carlo accomplished his studies in Viticulture and Oenology and he has taken over the oenological part of Cascina Longoria. Then, Corrado decided to take care about the agronomical production. After one year the new vinery was open. In 1991, the main property was bought: a farmhouse called “Le Doti”. “Le Doti” was built in the 17th century and it has its own Barbaresco vineyard. It is in Neive, precisely on the top of the hill “Bordini”. Soon, new lands and areas became part of Cascina Longoria and all the wine production methods were improved to satisfy the growing demand. Later, in 2004 Carlo and Corrado decided to open an agritourism in Cascina Longoria. Since that time Ornella, who is Corrado’s wife, takes care about all the guests and she directs all the activities linked with the agritourism. Both Cascina Longoria and Le Doti have their own rooms for wine tasting and people can buy wine directly there. Nowadays, Cascina Longoria has 40 hectares from which 20 are for vineyards. The silence... It is with silence, humidity and natural temperature of the winery that the best wines are produced. From the harvest to the barrique: the grapes are turned into wine. To produce great and fine wines, Carlo and his nephew Davide work their vineyards with professionality and devotion. However, thanks to their talents and their studies, Carlo and Davide could find the perfect balance between the tradition and the technology. Opened in 1980, the winery has been improved a lot to enhance the whole production. The winery is divided in three areas: bottling and labelling, vinification, aging and refining. The first two areas are closed to the vinification one (for those wines that do not need to age in oak barrels, the vinification takes place in inox tanks). The third area is dedicated to the aging and refining processes that take place in our unique oak barrels. In addition, we have a special small barrel for our Barbera wine “Ardote”. It is with silence, humidity and natural temperature of the winery that the best wines are produced. Our wines.

PREVER

WHO WE ARE - GUARDIANS OF ANCIENT VINEYARDS We safeguard the history and tradition of local viticulture in a modern and sustainable way. A LONG-CENTURY WINE HISTORY The hills of the Sacra di San Michele were cultivated with vineyards by the ancient Romans. In the Middle Ages it was the cradle of the famous Nebbiolo grape: the flag of Piedmont in the world. Founded in 1949, Prever began as a multifunctional company that produces honey, fruit, cheese and wine. Only since the early 2000s, production has focused on wine. Prever’s new winery, completed in 2011, allows to combine modern oenological methods and traditional winemaking. The turning point came in 2015 with a trip to France with "Rencontres des cépages modestes" and its manifesto on the uniqueness of minor grape varieties. Since then Prever focuses on the intent to save this unrepeatable heritage of humanity from extinction, preserving the ancient vines from the outside, as in a new Noah's ark. RARE AND UNAVAILABLE WINES The vineyards, less than 2 hectares, produce very small quantity because they are made up of almost centenary vine plants and sometimes varieties so uncommon to be unknown, dating back to the typical grapes of the area, but worthy of an ampelographic museum. Vineyard processing is done with the utmost respect for the environment: low yield per plant, controlled grassing and biological treatments. The winery is energy self-sufficient, excludes fossil fuels and it is powered by solar energy. Prever vinifies only natural wines, it does not use herbicides and it is Vegan Friendly. WINES AWARDS High quality wines, recommended for aging. Nebbie Autunnali, is a strong red wine aged in oak barrels, it is made of Nebbiolo among other 14 varieties of ancient Piedmont vines. Beneficio di Michele, is a Barbera not grafted, extremely rare and precious. San Quirico Patrono was part of the Abbey of Saint Michele’ vineyards, XI-XII century . These very good and rare wines have won the prestigious Decanter Wine Awards 2017 and 2018, in London.

The Eraldo Revelli family farm is situated within the quiet and verdant countryside, in the enchanting surroundings of Belvedere Langhe – just a few miles from Dogliani. Since its foundation in 1930 by Eraldo’s father, the love for nature, the secrets of vine growing and the art of wine-making are being handed down from father to son. The wine-making experience starts in the unique south-facing vineyards (18 acres), that are looked after with enthusiasm and care for the environment (EC 2078/92) through the use of biological pesticides and organic fertilizers only. The marl and clay of the soil and the sun-beaten exposures cherished by the Mediterranean sea breezes offer an environment and an ideal microclimate for the growth of Dolcetto and Barbera, vines that produce grapes with great potential here.

Società Agricola Bes srl

Enjoy a good glass of wine and chase with imagination our deepest desires......drinking and daydreaming! Once upon a time......this is how a fairy tale begins, isn't it? We met and, over a glass of wine, under a starry sky, we began to dream.....we are a family, a family a little special. BES, besides being the acronym of our surnames (Balocco and Scheda), also means Bisogni Educativi Speciali (Special Educational Needs) as well as Bere e Sognare (drinking and dreaming). Our life has adapted, for about 10 years, to special needs that require a lot of patience. They require knowing how to wait with confidence and fight against every kind of adversity to reach slowly, very slowly, little results, but very important for our daily life. Needs for our little children, for the nature and for our vineyard that has to be daily cared for with love and ......effort! This is our wonderful world that we have learned to love and we are still lerning to unconditionally love. Observe, listen to and understand the language of our vine and children is essential for us. The respect for what surrounds us is the first step. We decided to undertake this new life (imposed from a certain point of view) with energy and desire to satisfy the needs of the nature and of our young and wonderful Dede. We are Daniele, Sara, our children Dede and Filippo, uncle Mamo and our lovely dog Bambú. One thing's for sure: how much there is still to learn from nature messages! Dreams are very important for us......therefore we will continue tirelessly to follow them. VINEYARDS AND TERROIR BES was born in 2017 from the desire to dream and from the love for the land and wine. From the beginning we have been very careful about complying with environment regulations relating to a "green culture" ( we would like to leave to next generations our land free of any unhealty substance) and we took the decision to convert the lands and vineyards to the biological production. We will reach the target in November 2020 - Certifying Authority is Valori Italia). BES is a very small winery located in the gentle hills of Monferrato region, in the municipality of Treville. It consists of 6 hectares of lands of which 2,5 of vineyards. The soil of the vineyard is originated from marine sediments. A terroir limestone, clay, alkaline and poor of nourishment that gives to our wines pleasant fruity notes and strong minerality.

Anna Maria Abbona

We always thought living in the Langhe was a privilege. But on the highest hills, at almost 600 metres above sea level, life has never been easy and nature is more severe, demanding... but fair. It taught us that you have to give to receive: respecting and loving it, looking after it and following its times for having in return the fruits of these lands, white of limestone, kissed by the sun and combed by the wind that are unique and recognizable. Together with our native vines and the wisdom of generations that have followed one another, wonderful wines are born that continue to amaze the world. Now, more than ever, we have a certainty: our land, combined with our passion and our tradition will never betray us and the meaning of life is to find yourself in what you do. We make wine well.

CASCINA GIOVINALE S.S.

Cascina Giovinale is an old farm, documented as operational from the late 19th century, which inspired Anna and Bruno Ciocca, both born in Nizza and with a passionate love for their hometown, to launch a project for the production of high-quality wines made exclusively with grapes grown in their own vineyards, enhancing their characteristics and identity. That project came to fruition in the 1980s, when they opened their cellar in Nizza Monferrato, on the top of San Nicolao hill, with seven hectares of vineyards. Refined and appealing wines, smooth yet complex, with all the aroma and character of Barbera made with passion and meticulous attention to detail, in a terroir of excellence which is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage.

Mine Wine

Gavi DOCG M I N E 11 Terre. MINE è una nuova filosofia di produzione vinicola. La mia lunga esperienza mi ha permesso di realizzare un vino ambasciatore del suo territorio di origine racchiudendo, in una sola bottiglia, tutte le tipicità dell'intera area di produzione Gavi DOCG. 11 sono le terre di produzione delle uve Cortese e, da ognuna di queste, vengono selezionate le migliori uve rappresentative per qualità e caratteristiche peculiari. L'area di produzione del Gavi DOCG si estende su poco più di 1500 ettari ed è divisa in tre terroir. La parte settentrionale è composta da terre rosse, ricche di ferro e argilla, che conferiscono al vino una maggiore concentrazione di zucchero e un corpo più forte. La fascia centrale vede l'alternarsi di marne e arenaria, dando vita a vini caratterizzati da una maggiore sapidità e mineralità. Infine, le terre bianche, della parte meridionale dell’area, sono vocate alla produzione di vini più fini e più longevi. Il risultato è un vino dal colore giallo paglierino brillante; al naso spiccano note calcaree e agrumate, insieme a croccanti sentori di frutta rossa ed erbe. Il sorso è caratterizzato da aromi intensi, sapidità e un saggio equilibrio tra la componente alcolica e la freschezza.

Massimo Pastura - Cascina La Ghersa

Cascina La Ghersa è il nucleo centrale dell’azienda, i cui vigneti si estendono sulle colline fra Nizza Monferrato e Moasca, affacciati sulla “Valle del Nizza”, che per la posizione dei terreni particolarmente vocati è ormai riconosciuta dai più autorevoli esperti come il vero “cuore” della zona di produzione della Barbera d’Asti e del neonato Nizza docg. L’azienda nasce negli anni ’20, quando Luigi ed Osvaldo Bologna e Pietro Barbero, rispettivamente bis-nonno, nonno e pro-zio di Massimo, reimpiantano il vigneto Vignassa, distrutto in precedenza dai disastrosi attacchi di Fillossera. È attorno a quella vigna che dunque nasce e si sviluppa un’attività dedicata alla vite ed al vino e che crescerà passo a passo nei decenni, secondo i ritmi lenti e ragionati della sana tradizione contadina piemontese. Nel 1989 Massimo inizia il suo percorso affiancando il padre Giulio e mamma Piera nella conduzione dell’Azienda di famiglia. Il suo giovanile entusiasmo, sollecitato da un’innata passione, ha come primo obiettivo quello di puntare con convinzione sul vitigno Barbera. Un’uva, secondo Massimo, che in questo territorio riesce ad esprimere qualità eccezionali e caratteri unici ed irripetibili, senza tuttavia trascurare altri vitigni autoctoni di grande personalità, come il Timorasso, il Moscato, la Croatina ed il Grignolino. Fondò negli anni ’90 insieme ad altri vignaioli l’associazione “Le Vigne del Nizza” grazie alla quale nel 2014 venne riconosciuta la nuova prestigiosa denominazione NIZZA docg. Nel 2009 fu tra i primi vignaioli non originari dei Colli Tortonesi, a credere ed investire nelle potenzialità del vitigno Timorasso e del terroir tortonese, acquisendo vigneti in quell’area e precedendo prestigiosi nomi dell’enologia piemontese arrivati negli anni seguenti e contribuendo alla nascita della nuova denominazione DERTHONA doc. Massimo oggi conduce totalmente l’azienda, coadiuvato dalla figlia Giorgia e dalla compagna Cristina.

Antonio FERRARI Cantine

Cantine Antonio Ferrari founded in Piedmont and Puglia in 1936 . We sell Fine wines , 50 to 70 years old , still live and in perfect contitions because they rest inside sealed special time’s capsules .. Our selection is perfect for lovers , collectors, and investors. Regarding our wine master Antonio Ferrari we can say only says that “Legends are born from heroes with a visionary perception of the world.” Antonio Ferrari, is an artist and for this reason , his wines are alive and excite. He resisted the style of aging wines in barrique and felt discomfort for the fingerprints of toasted wood flavor, of straw, more or less intrusive depending on the technical skills of the operators .... those modifications for him were foreign to wine, they made it other than what it was, altering its substance. He said that something was put into it with the secret hope of finding much more. Describing a Van Gogh by dissecting his brushstrokes would be only a cold pictorial analysis that could never make us perceive the beauty of one of his masterpieces. Here we are faced with wines that shouldn't be there ... and that our mind wants to compare, describe, dissect when instead they are just to be sipped, be amazed and only remotely guess what an artist wanted to create 50/70 years earlier. Antonio's wines are born from the extraordinary fruit of the improbable and the unthinkable, but without leaving anything to chance, because they are the result of the extraordinary sensitivity of a mind misaligned by its historical contemporaneity made of immediacy. After 20 years that Antonio and his daughter Gianagela have left us, we awaken the cellar that had entered a long hibernation and propose to the world its history and its incredibly alive and perfect wines that still ripen inside what Antonio called "the capsules of time“. Our duty and honour is to relaunch his brand and give to the world the possibility to know what is a live 70 years old wine and vinify again . Our new wine in february 2021 have won Best Italian Wine Selection bronze medal . www.ferrarivinirari.com

TIRELLI ANDREA AZ. AGR.

I am the keeper of about 4 hectares of vineyard on the Tortonesi Hills, in Piedmont. I began the fascinating profession of winemaker in 2002, after making the decision to go back to the origins. The earth. As a symbol of my company, I chose the Triskele, an ancient Celtic symbol that represents the elements, earth, water and air, united by energy in a dynamic swirl from the inside out. This symbol embodies my idea of wine and agriculture: my goal is in fact to interpret nature and what it offers to bottle quality wines, wholesome, genuine and accessible to all. In my vineyards there are only native vines of the Piedmontese tradition, both white and red. I work the vineyard with a biodynamic method, a form of agriculture that allows you to enrich the land that is cultivated, to respect the natural balance of the environment and allows the plants to more easily resist adversity. In the cellar, I vinify the grapes that I harvest naturally, respecting the time required for transformation into wine: only indigenous grape yeasts, limited use of sulphites, no technological intervention as anyone who enters my cellar can easily see. My wines are born from this long, careful and exciting work. Which reflect the place where they were born, the Piedmontese hills of Alessandria, the Tortona hills: heterogeneous soil, clayey, limestone and an extraordinary microclimate.

Il Vino e le Rose

Nasce a marzo 2017 dopo 10 anni di produzione dedicata all’autoconsumo e una minima vendita in piccoli circuiti informali e di prossimità, come le critical wine. L’esigenza di costruire un nuovo progetto di lavoro e di vita ci ha portato all’Oasi di Mastarone, un luogo naturalmente vocato alla produzione vitivinicola in un contesto che definire semplicemente rurale è oltremodo riduttivo. Recuperando i vigneti abbandonati di Timorasso e Cortese dell’Oasi, abbiamo costituito un’azienda vitivinicola con l’obbiettivo di trasformare la passione per il buon vino genuino e naturale in una vera prospettiva per il nostro futuro. Prediligiamo la piccola produzione e la più alta qualità possibile, nel rispetto della naturalità del prodotto. Fondamentale per noi è la cura con la quale affrontiamo ogni fase della lavorazione dei nostri vini, dalla vite alla bottiglia, passando per una fermentazione con i soli lieviti autoctoni. Alleviamo 4 vitigni per la produzione di vini bianchi e rossi. I tre ettari di vigneto a bacca bianca Cortese e Timorasso si trovano all’interno dell’Oasi di Mastarone. I due vitigni a bacca rossa Dolcetto e Barbera, 5000 mq per ognuno, si trovano a fondo valle tra Brignano e Momperone (AL). In continuità con il recente passato coltiviamo e produciamo Langhe DOC Nebbiolo proveniente da mezzo ettaro nelle terre del Roero

LAFICAIA

“Find you once again in the shade of the fig tree, where the vine embraces the sky…” In 2013 Enrico Piantato, nephew of Clemente Guasti, founder of the homonymic historic winery, decided to leave the legal profession to pursue his dreams and continue the long family tradition. The fertile land of Casalotto di Mombaruzzo, the birthplace of his grandfather, together with the wonderful climatic conditions favour the cultivation of grapes and other fruits such as figs and olives. And it is precisely the memory of the fig tree, under which his grandfather Clemente used to rest, which is the source of inspiration for the birth of "Laficaia". And so the fig tree, fruit and tree, symbol of immortality and fertility, sacred to Dionysus, the God of wine, is destined to remain an emblem of life capable of uniting the earth to heaven. Laficaia since 2019 it's also a Wine Resort.

Pedemontis

Pedemontis is a family business, a mixed crop farm where forest and truffle fields, vineyards and hazelnut groves, agriculture and animals breathe as one. Pedemontis tends to over 43 hectares of forests and vineyards on the hills of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, plus other 180 hectares of woodland and meadows on the ridges of the Apennines on Piemonte’s southern border. Marginal areas often saved from abandonment and patiently bought back to life to promote a project based on sustainable agriculture. Pedemontis produces oxygen and breaths the clean air of its forests, leaving no carbon footprint. Each year 7,150 tons of oxygen are reintroduced into the atmosphere while 104 tons of carbon dioxide are extracted. In this context 13 hectares of own vineyards are cultivated: Barbera, Nebbiolo, Arneis and Favorita. A team of thirty donkeys contribute to the management of our land, roaming freely between the vineyards and the woods, feeding on the wild grass and helping the undergrowth clean.

Bongioanni wine

Our family-run business was founded by Nonno Cesare when he was only 20 years old and all he had were some savings and some plots of land where he decided to plant his very first vine. After some time, his son Claudio joined him and the vineyards became the priority of the family. Since then, the company started growing rapidly, expanding their property and starting to sell grapes. Nowadays,Claudio’s sons, Federico e Mattia, are the ones responsible to continue this incredible work that has been started a long time ago, and to make sure that their grandpa’s beloved dream comes true. Currently, the company owns 23ha of vineyards. Their large vineyard produces Moscato Bianco, however, they also grow: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Arneis and Dolcetto. In 2018, Federico and Mattia, under the supervision of Claudio and Cesare, decided to start to produce wine, becoming part of a project called “Green Experience”, that certifies an eco-sustainable way of growing the vine and making wine.

RINALDI AZIENDA AGRICOLA

Cantina Cecilia Monte

Cecilia Monte Una storia al femminile All’interno del comprensorio di Langa, spesso connotato da storie al maschile, Cecilia Monte, Viticultrice in Neive, così come recita il logo aziendale, rappresenta una delle rare “quote rosa” appartenenti al firmamento delle eccellenze enologiche piemontesi. Nell’anno 2000, terminato il percorso universitario, decide di gestire in diretta la tenuta di famiglia, ubicata in un angolo meraviglioso e poco conosciuto del prestigioso comune di Neive ed inizia a trasformare un terroir ad alta vocazione, utilizzato fino ad allora al conferimento, in un nuovo racconto, iniziando cioè a vinificare le proprie uve ed imbottigliare il proprio vino. Il padre Paolo, ancora oggi presente attivamente in azienda, a cui peraltro è stato dedicato un Barbaresco tratto dai filari a lui più cari, ha trasmesso alla figlia lo stesso sentimento che lui aveva provato agli esordi nel cimentarsi in un percorso tanto affascinante quanto arduo. Il cru Serracapelli, ubicato al limite settentrionale della denominazione del Barbaresco, a circa 300 metri slm., area ancora poco esplorata e quindi ricca di biodiversità naturali, rappresenta lo scenario e il patrimonio vitato all’interno dei quali si può ammirare il lavoro di Cecilia Monte. I vini tratti dai frutti di questo lembo di terra si distinguono per una serie di peculiarità, tra cui una balsamicità rinfrescante che caratterizza la profondità gustativa, insieme ad una struttura mai invadente; a volte un po’ introversi in gioventù, posseggono un potenziale di invecchiamento non comune. Non è raro incontrare Cecilia tra i filari, così come è frequente trovarla impegnata nei quotidiani impegni che la piccola ma attrezzata cantina comporta. Le varietà presenti nei vigneti di proprietà sono quelle tipiche della zona, cioè Dolcetto, Barbera e soprattutto Nebbiolo, con alcune parcelle che ormai hanno compiuto circa 50 anni. I locali che ospitano la cantina di vinificazione e affinamento sono particolarmente curati, così come la sala degustazione, affacciata su uno spettacolare scorcio di Langa, scenografia ideale per ritrovarsi ad assaggiare e commentare i frutti di una terra così straordinaria.

SCARZELLA

Siamo 3 fratelli, terza generazione di una stirpe di contadini e vignaioli, insieme condividiamo l’amore per la nostra terra e il nostro territorio. Ci troviamo in Piemonte e più precisamente nel Monferrato Astigiano riconosciuto dal 2014 sito UNESCO insieme ai paesaggi vitivinicoli di Langhe e Roero. Abbiamo il privilegio di avere a pochi metri dalla nostra proprietà un Parco Naturale in un contesto bellissimo il quale, sia dal punto di vista climatico, sia da quello vegetazionale, possiede una influenza mediterranea derivante dalla zona delle Langhe e una influenza alpina derivante, invece, dal sistema collinare torinese. La Barbera è il vitigno tipico per eccellenza delle nostre colline e Rocchetta Tanaro rientra tra i Comuni che hanno segnato la storia di questo vino. Qui, non solo la Barbera trova il suo terroir d’elezione, ma anche il Grignolino, altro vitigno autoctono del Monferrato, cultivar che regala vini tutt’altro che scontati, un prodotto a cui noi teniamo molto e vogliamo far riscoprire. Per necessità, ma soprattutto per vocazione, tutte le operazioni in vigneto sono effettuate a mano. Il terreno scosceso tiene le grandi macchine lontane dalle vigne, questo ci ha permesso di conoscere palmo a palmo le zolle che popolano i filari e di entrare in perfetta sintonia con le nostre piante e la nostra terra, con tutta la fatica che serve alla qualità. Pratichiamo una agricoltura green e sostenibile, sempre nel rispetto della biodiversità. Ogni anno seminiamo tra i filari dei nostri vigneti e frutteti delle essenze floreali per introdurre impollinatori e altri insetti utili e leguminose per arricchire in sostanza organica il nostro terreno, senza l’impiego di concimi chimici. La nostra azienda dista 35km da Alba, 15km da Asti e 15km da Nizza Monferrato.

You could walk through the vineyards, listening to our family' s history and discovering our daily efforts or just relaxing in the quietness of this hilltop smelling our unique aromas.

Guasti Clemente

In the immediate post – WWII period, Clemente Guasti founded a cellar to begin produce and sell the most high quality wines from the heart of Asti region, which is placed in Nizza Monferrato, one of the most important wine places on the Piedmont region. As a great wine maker and innovator, his achievements already started on the first year of activity, reporting the origin of the grapes on the label of the wine bottle’s, this innovation had an important legacy on the intuition aimed at the world of Barbera, practically he began a precise indication linked to the concept of “cru”, referring to the importance and selections of owned vineyards. so thus was born the “Barbere di Cascina” which are still the pride of the House, bearing the name of Barbera d’Asti Superiorer DOCG “Cascina Boschetto Vecchio”. Clemente, as innovator was always closely and carefully following the evolution of the new productions technologies and methods, so, near to the 1950, he was the first one in the region to adopt the Martinotti – Charmat method to produce sparkling wines, where the achievements had been recorded and evidenced in an unusual film made by the RAI ( Italian Radio Television) in 1958 titled “Lo Spumante Italiano” ( Italian sparkling wine ). In the following years, Guasti Clemente & Figli (s.r.l) has been constantly growing its high quality wines reputation allowing us for decades to have an excellent participation in national and international markets.The most recent history referring to the new millennium has seen the convinced adhesion to the project “ Nizza ” to identifying a special reserve from Barbera vine’s, growing in a very specific viticultural area and particularly suited. Since 2014 an important wine Barbera’s production bears as the “Nizza“, which under of the Italian wine classification institution ” Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin (DOCG)” was officially born in that year, making “ Nizza “ an important and exclusive place for high standard vineyards, accordingly the number of producers belonging to the Association has steadily increased, also following the great success of this wine encountered on the market in Italy and abroad.

Emilio Vada

Emilio Vada’s winery is nestled among the picturesque vineyards of the softly rolling hills near Coazzolo, a small town that lies in an area that has been made part of the UNESCO heritage. Coazzolo lies just where the Langhe, land of the Nebbiolo, becomes the Monferrato, land famous for the Moscato D’Asti wine. Due to this very special location, Cascina Emilio Vada Farm produces Moscato d'Asti, as well as Dolcetto d'Alba, Langhe Nebbiolo and Barbera d’Asti. The best exposed lands of these hills have been jealously guarded and handed down from generation to generation. The vineyards require constant and precise care, and a profound understanding and respect for Nature's variable ways. We therefore dedicate the same patient passion of our ancestors to every single vine that grows on our land following the same ritualistic cadence dictated by the cycle of the seasons. A good wine can only derive from excellent grapes that are produced from a vineyard that has been cared for with precision and knowledgeable passione all the way through to the harvest. Our wines are the direct expression of our work in our vineyards, sealing in each bottle the tale of a precious terrain, the scent of sun, the toil and fatigue: the history of a priceless and unique territory. We are proudly member of the FIVI as the Vignerons indipendant in France : Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti (FIVI) The winegrower cultivates his own vines, bottles the wine, personally catering to his product. He sells all or part of the harvest bottled, under his own responsibility, name and label.

CASCINA ORIZZONTE

Cascina Orizzonte born from the idea of two friends, Enrico Dogliotti and Riccardo Rosso, who in 2014 tried to vinify a small amount of grapes driven by a passion for wine and a love for the territory. The vinified grapes are owned and come from the farm of Enrico's parents, who work vineyards of Moscato d’Asti, Barbera d’Asti and Chardonnay, with the experience gained over decades of activity. Our label: it comes from itself, from a random stain that left an indelible mark during racking. It is from there that the idea of the MACCHIA was born, which takes up the color of the wine it represents. Our vision: to produce wines in a simple way without altering the original characteristics of the grape, obtaining the best result from the assembly of different grape varieties. The goal is to obtain an excellent longevity of the product; our wines must enter the market without haste, at the most opportune moment. Our mission: to expand our skills and our knowledge by experimenting, year after year, different types of fermentation and aging in wood. Cascina Orizzonte nasce dall’idea di due amici, Enrico Dogliotti e Riccardo Rosso, che nel 2014 provano a vinificare una piccola quantità di uva spinti dalla passione per il vino e dall’amore per il territorio. Le uve vinificate sono di proprietà e provengono dall’azienda agricola dei genitori di Enrico, che lavorano vigneti di Moscato d’Asti, Barbera d’Asti e Chardonnay, con l’esperienza maturata in decenni di attività. La nostra etichetta: nasce da sé, da una macchia casuale che durante la svinatura ha lasciato un segno indelebile. E' proprio da lì che nasce l'idea della MACCHIA, che riprende il colore del vino che rappresenta. La Nostra vision: produrre vini in maniera semplice senza alterare le caratteristiche originali dell’uva, ottenendo il miglior risultato dall'assemblaggio di diversi vitigni. L'obiettivo è ottenere un’ottima longevità del prodotto; i nostri vini devono entrare sul mercato senza fretta, al momento più opportuno. La Nostra mission: ampliare le nostre competenze e le nostre conoscenze sperimentando, annata dopo annata, diverse tipologie di fermentazione e affinamento in legno.

DARIO COCITO

COCITO DARIO I Vini Piemontesi dal 1868 COCITO DARIO – The wines THE BEGINNING: ____________________________________________________________________ 1868 is the year reconised by the Cocito’s family as the winery foundation: a small but respectable farm in the Asti area located on the border between Agliano Terme and Costigliole d’Asti. Cocito’s family in the beginning of ‘900 First Felice, then Valerio with his wife Violanda, she was born in Australia but soon back on his Piedmont hills never more abandoned, working his vineyard with the affection of a mother, they gave life and passion to the cultivation of vines and started "to make wine", wine that was particularly good on these hills, thanks to the perfect soil and the sun that takes care of the vines at the right point. Barbera is the princess of Agliano’s hills, a small village in the south of the Monferrato. Valerio begins in the 40s to sell wine to those who will become the first loyal customers. In 1947, in an Italy experienced by the two great wars, Dario was born, the last child after Felicina, Adelina and Renata. Sacrifice and hard work in the fields are everyday life, Dario, still a young boy, demonstrates the enthusiasm of those who want to start a new adventure of growth. Vines cultivation and making wine were his "credo", supported in every step by his wife Elsa, in the new small projects to grow its own company and take care of the production of wine with intense passion. The work in the vineyards is hard but the desire to grow the fruit of their work becomes stronger, so in the early '70s, the first bottled Barbera of the area was presented by Dario, now no longer just sold in demijohns. The quality is high and the estimators swear loyalty to his Barbera. The Company has now reached the fourth generation: Dario Cocito with his wife Elsa and their children Sergio and Nadia. It has always been family-run, still today without any commercial network living of the entusiasm of who, tasting their wines, trasnfer their emotions to their friends. The winery is situated close to the property’s vineyards, at the top of Collina Crena facing south-east. It is particularly favorable for cultivating Barbera wine.

It is particularly favorable for cultivating Barbera wine. 1920 – The vineyards VIOLANDA’S VINEYARD: ____________________________________________________________________ The history of this wine, a pleasant surprise that brings us back to other times, is over a century old and is linked to the family history.The history of this wine, a pleasant surprise that brings us back to other times, is over a century old and is linked to the family history. The history of the Violanda Vineyard has origins dating back to the end of the 19th and early 20th century in the state of Queensland in Australia; a land of Italian emigrants in search of fortune where a part of the family had moved to. Young Violanda, Dario’s mother, inherited a vineyard on the hills of Agliano. She returned home on board the “Ormonde” Orient Line, a ship that sailed the Australia-Europe route. The ship sank, but the passengers were rescued by a merchant ship. As the years went by there were numerous transoceanic journeys to Australia, until Violanda and her family decided to return definitively to the Asti hills. That same vineyard she inherited as a child still exists today and continues to bear fruit, producing a refined Barbera, which could only be called Violanda. THE GROWTH The Company began growing in the 1960s, marketing its own wines in Turin. Today, the company is well known both in Italy and abroad and its main focus is on quality and the trust built over the years with its customers. Once the wine is ready, Cocito bottles some of it and brings some of it in flasks to clients all around the Piedmont region, thus consolidating ties that last a lifetime, faithful to his idea of a Company far from being in the spotlight. A company that is based on sincerity and quality. THE VINEYARDS AND THE PRINCIPLES: RESPECT AND LOYALTY FOR WHO LOVES WINE ________________________________________________________ The strong link with the earth are for Dario the basis for the vines growing the Cocito Dario Company makes wines exclusively from its own grapes and personally oversees all the phases of production, avoiding since the beginning the use of herbicides and chimica products Just following the rythm of nature and proceeding at the right time with the different phases of the Vineyard works: pruning, soil working, branches binding, defoliation, treatments exclusively with natural products as verderame (copper fingicide), the grapes choice in the summer and the final harvest in september. The work in the vineyard is our main commitment. It’s here that we spend most of our time, taking care of the vineyards. Dario often loves repeating “The good wine is made in the vineyards, not in the cellar” a carefull attention to the vines assures good structure, parfumes and character to wines. The work in the vineyard is our main commitment. It’s here that we spend most of our time, taking care of the vineyards. Collina Crena, the place where you’ll find the Company and the vineyards; its south-east position is ideal for cultivating the Barbera wine. Its almost white, compact and calcareous clay soil, which is dried by the sun as a result of its position, requires snowfall to ensure proper water reserves in the ground. 100% AUTHENTICITY We at The Cocito Dario Company have always believed in the work that has enabled us to produce high quality wine and in the effort that made our small company what it is today. We’re a family run business business and we’ve always considered this to be one of our major strengths. The respect for the vineyard, for the soil, honesty towards those who drink our wine and the producer’s direct contact have always been the fundamental elements that we’ve focused on. There’s no middleman here: you’re directly in touch with those who actually make the wine, and this why the direct contact with our clients is so important to us. It represents one of the most rewarding aspects of our work. IN THE CELLARS We try to maintain, as much as possible, the structure and body of the wine without subjecting it to particular treatments that may affect its organoleptic qualities. We use temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for both the wine-making and storage. For the aging process, we use a barrique cellar containing a 50 hectolitre barrel, made by using a mixture of three oaks from three different forests. The rosé wine is vinified through a white process, with a slight maceration in a closed press for two or three hours followed by soft pressing and by static decanting of the must “juice”, fermented between 18 ° to 20 °. The vinification for red wine is carried out through the classical procedure of ‘racking’ for very long periods of time, up to 20 days in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature fermentation. For red wines, we proceed by pressing the pomace and racking which take place every two or three months to ensure a natural settling and cleansing of the must. We then, finally, conclude the process with malolactic fermentation. COCITO DARIO

CANTINA MOSPARONE

The CANTINA MOSPARONE estate was established at the end of 2008 thanks to the passion of its owners, Simonetta Boschetti and Fabrizio Ghebbano, for high quality wines. Set on the hills that divide the municipalities of Castelnuovo don Bosco and Pino d’Asti, the estate covers an area of about 16 hectares, 10 of which are cultivated as vineyards. The composition of the soils, generally known as “grey-blue marl” or “white soils”, their exposure and an average altitude of around 400 metres above sea level, which offers a good alternation of warm daytime and cool night-time temperatures, as well as meticulous vineyard management, lead to the production of grapes that give life to wines with great structures and elegant bouquets. Right from the start, the aim of the estate has been to be known for the production of high quality wines, linked closely to the local territory and winemaking tradition. After a year spent working in the vineyards under the guideof an agronomical expert specialised in viticulture, in order to improve quality in the vineyard, Cantina Mosparone began vinifying its wines in 2009, under the supervision of the oenologist Mario Ronco.

The association defends the vine – grower that make and trade wine with own brand. Make wine means: to feel in the glass of wine the flavour, the smell of my terroir; to feel the passion and the love to grow the vine in the most natural way. If the earth is healthy and alive, consequently the people who live here will have a better life. VINE - GROWING The process used for weeds in the under layer is done with intervals mowing in shallow depth of the soil which aims to cut the roots of the weeds. The treatments against downy mildew and powdery mildew are sprayed with products based on copper and sulphur trying to limit the use as much as possible. In many cases a careful process used in the procedure of canopy management helps to reduce treatments. The Fertilizing process is done using manure or compost and when it is possible the green manure is used to give the ground a greater contribution of organic substance. The cultivated vines are Moscato, Barbera, Nebbiolo and Gamba di pernice which is an ancient indigenous vine now only found mostly in the town of Calosso and some neighbouring towns. WINEMAKING The harvest is by hands in small baskets of 25 kg. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out by making a pied de cuve with natural yeasts from the vineyards. Procedure carried out in the cellar, after which the new wines have finished the fermentation, are racked off, tasting and "batonnage". The refining process is done by keeping the wine on the lees fermentation for 12 - 24 months. These give complexity and stability to the wine but the appearance is certainly more important it serves as a natural prevention of oxidation and therefore allows reducing the concentration of sulphites. The bottling is done without filtering on the quarter of a waning moon and fine weather.

Az. Agricola TAPPERO MERLO DOMENICO

ABOUT ME I wanted to restart from my roots. I come from a background of peasant families which dedicated themselves to viticulture for generations. But I, just like many locals from Canavese, was attracted by the technology of Olivetti, the company that represented the avant-garde of computer industry of Ivrea, Italy. After an important experience as an entrepreneur in the world of software, in 2001 I’ve decided to dedicate myself to a new adventure. I started to replant the vines coming from my heritage and brought in other vines to perfect my Erbaluce grapes. I wished for the vineyard to become my life partner, enhancing our values and letting the world know our incredible story. I just wanted to narrate the story of my land through Erbaluce. My land, apparently poor but so particular, where the sand torn from the Alps of Valle d’Aosta mixes with the ground. Along side with replanting new vines, I decided to enrich my wine culture attending wine tasting courses. I became a sommelier first, then a wine taster and as a result a lecturer teaching viticulture. I felt the necessity to teach the traditional “cultivation” method of “modern”. MY PHILOSOPHY Being loyal and respectful to your “terroir” is fundamental to reach original and authentic results. This is why I decided to revise in a modern way the traditional techniques used by the local winegrowers of the past, focusing on the organic features of the soil. I use the “sovescio mirato” (“green manure”) with leguminous, gramineous and astraceous herbs to improve the fertility of a very acid soil. All the treatments have low environmental impact and they use alternative products based on ivy, horsetail, yucca, propolis and a small amount of cow milk, copper and sulfur powder. We help the natural development of spontaneous flora and fauna for a natural environmental balance. Our daily activity in the vineyars is a constant research and experimentation on local traditional techniques. The farm adopt an organic production method and is identified with the IT BIO code 006 I2084 MY LAND Since 5 millions years ago the Adriatic Sea started to retreat from the Alps through the region that the Po Valley occupies today. This land was gradually covered by the sediments originated from the erosion of the Alps. Later, due to the lower average temperature, the Alps begun to accumulate big amounts of ice that started to spread towards the bottom of the valley. Aosta Valley was covered by the Balteo Glacier creating the majestic Morainic Amphitheatre of Ivrea.The Balteo glacier smoothed the sides of the mountains that were on its path carrying the corrosion materials, forming an incredible mixture of mud, sand, pebbles and boulders huge, which transported from the glacial mass was deposited on thefront and sides of the glacier forming the majestic Morainic Amphitheater of Ivrea. In this way very particular and very varied soils were formed in the composition. The lands of the Morainic Amphitheater of Ivrea are very acidic and are normally composed of 70-85% sand, 10-20% of silt and 5-10% of clay that guarantee excellent drainage to the vineyards. LE MIE RADICI Ho voluto ripartire dalle mie radici. La mia infatti è stata una famiglia contadina dedita da generazioni alla viticoltura. Anch’io però, come tanti canavesani, sono stato contaminato dalla tecnologia, che qui aveva un nome, Olivetti. Dopo un’importante esperienza imprenditoriale nel mondo del software, nel 2001 ho deciso di dedicarmi ad una nuova avventura sempre nella mia terra, ripiantando i vigneti di famiglia, acquistandone altri e destinandoli alla sperimentazione dell’Erbaluce. Desideravo che questo vitigno fosse il mio compagno di viaggio, valorizzandolo, facendolo conoscere, diffondendone la sua incredibile storia che ci caratterizza nel mondo. Volevo narrare la storia della mia terra attraverso l’Erbaluce e cosi, parallelamente al reimpianto dei vigneti, ho deciso di arricchire la mia cultura vinicola diventando prima sommelier e poi narratore del mio territorio. Credo che chi non ami la propria terra non abbia rispetto dei propri avi e della fatica che hanno dovuto fare per renderla vivibile. Da queste premesse parte la mia personale battaglia di valorizzazione dell’Erbaluce praticando una viticoltura che fosse testimone di un ritorno “moderno” all’artigianalità. LA MIA FILOSOFIA La mia attività in vigna è una continua ricerca, riscoperta e rielaborazione di tecniche del passato recuperando quanto di valido si praticava storicamente in loco. Credo che se una persona opera nel rispetto dell’ambiente che lo circonda, senza compromettere alcun equilibrio, non necessiti di alcuna certificazione che attesti la bontà del suo operato. Ed è così che ho applicato in chiave moderna le tecniche agronomiche che erano adottate dai vignaioli canavesani nel passato, ponendo particolare attenzione alla struttura organica dei suoli, praticando il sovescio mirato (con leguminose, graminacee, asteracee) per migliorare la fertilità dei terreni molto acidi. I trattamenti sono a basso impatto ambientale, con prodotti alternativi a base di edera, equiseto, yucca, propoli, un ridotto impiego di rame, zolfo in polvere e latte vaccino. Si favorisce lo sviluppo della flora spontanea e della fauna tipica del luogo per favorire il naturale equilibrio tra le specie. I vigneti sono abitati da lombrichi, maggiolini, api, scarabei, ognuno dei quali contribuisce all’equilibrio del vigneto. L'azienda adotta un metodo di produzione biologico ed è identificata col codice IT BIO 006 I2084. VITICOLTURA IN CANAVESE La qualità di un vino è strettamente legata al suo territorio di origine ed al talento dell’uomo che nel tempo ne ha saputo esaltare le caratteristiche. I canavesani sono vignaioli da sempre e prima ancora che i Romani, conquistassero il Canavese, i Salassi, i nostri avi, coltivavano già la vite. Discendevano dai Celti da cui avevano ereditato le tecniche della viticoltura etrusca. Già a quei tempi si faceva uso della botte, ancora sconosciuta ai romani, e si consumavano vini secchi e non dolci come bevevano a Roma. Nel corso dei secoli la viticoltura in Canavese divenne sempre più importante e il vino rappresentò a lungo l’entrata più importante dell’economia locale, diffondendosi fuori dai confini locali. Nel 1819, da un censimento commissionato dal Regno di Piemonte e Sardegna, i vigneti avevano un’estensione di ben 12.500 ettari. Sempre in quegli anni, nel 1867, i vini di Loranzè furono definiti eccellenti all’Esposizione Universale di Parigi, mentre quelli di Caluso furono premiati con medaglia d’oro a Parigi e a Londra. L’erbaluce è un vino nel quale freschezza e mineralità evocano straordinariamente l’origine dei nostri suoli. Terreni poverissimi strappati dai ghiacciai alle montagne più alte d’Europa che gli imprimono un’impronta inconfondibile di straordinaria finezza ed eleganza, vini con una storia millenaria e affascinante da raccontare. IL TERRITORIO A partire da 5 milioni di anni fa il mare Adriatico, che a quei tempi occupava il bacino padano e si spingeva fino all’interno della Valle d’Aosta, venne gradualmente riempito dai sedimenti originatisi dall’erosione della catena alpina. Successivamente, a causa della diminuzione delle temperature, il fondovalle della Valle d’Aosta venne totalmente occupato dal Ghiacciaio Balteo. Durante la sua corsa il ghiacciaio levigò e arrotondò i fianchi delle montagne formando il maestoso Anfiteatro Morenico di Ivrea. I terreni formatisi dalla corsa della ghiacciaio sono prevalentemente sabbiosi e frammisti a sassi e ciottoli di ogni dimensione provenienti dal disfacimento delle rocce dei massicci del Monte Rosa, Monte Bianco, del Cervino e del Gran Paradiso. I terreni dell’Anfiteatro Morenico di Ivrea sono molto acidi e sono composti normalmente da un 70-85% da sabbie, 10-20% da limo e da un 5-10% da argilla che garantiscono un ottimo drenaggio ai vigneti.

Az. Agricola Ca di Tulin

The family-run company takes care of everything from the harvest to the winemaking, from bottling and sales to the reception / tasting in the cellar. Like in a boutique, every liter of wine is the result of meticulous and artisanal work in the cellar and relational contacts with people. Our wine is aimed at those who know how to appreciate it and understand its value, which is why the Cà di Tulin company is careful in the choice of distributors and sales channels. The company name Cà di Tulin derives from the name of the house, to indicate, in Piedmontese, the courtyard of the Bartolomeo Olivetti family. The current cellar is the one that our great-great-grandparents built near the hill and the provincial road behind. A natural embankment that limits temperature changes as much as possible, while constant humidity and low light have proved to be ideal environmental conditions for the maturation and aging of wine, excellent custodians of the quality of our wines. Our vineyards are cared for according to peasant culture and according to agricultural production methods compatible with the needs of environmental protection and with the care of the natural space (According to EEC Regulation no. 1257/1999). Rules that we have adhered to since 2007 to pursue the highest quality of the grapes produced, to improve and promote the authenticity of the wines and to lovingly preserve the territory in which we live and work. Since 2012, our company has started a self-regulation program aimed at continuous improvement in the search for the quality of the wine product and with the aim of improving the territory in which it operates.

Centovigne - Castello di Castellengo

The Castle of Castellengo, on the hills of Biella under the Monte Rosa massif, has been producing exquisite wines for centuries. They are produced in the surrounding wineyards on ancient submarine glacial land, where mostly Nebbiolo and Erbaluce grapes have always been cultivated. Magda and Alessandro Ciccioni revisit this tradition daily by recuperating ancient vineyards in an almost archaeological way. They re-established a historical property that is now called Centovigne (100 vineyards) because it is made up of many small vineyards spread out on the hills between the Castle of Castellengo and Mottalciata in northern Piedmont (Alto Piemonte). The eighteenth-century wine cellars use concrete thanks and big durmast (oak) barrels to age and elevate wines, bringing together new knowledge and old traditions for a combination of technology and history. Our roots go back to 1682, date of the document with the list of how many wine presses, how many barrels and how many vats, were located inside the Castle of Castellengo. On September 28, 1748 the Cabreo was drawn up, a judicial report relating to the feudal properties of Castellengo, where the extension of the vineyards and cultivation systems were determined. In 1888 the summary prospectus of the Sella Company in Castellengo appears with the income and expenses relating to the sale of the Castellengo.

CASCINA CIAPAT

Small family-run business certified SQNPI (Sustainable Agriculture). For four generations we have been working with respect for nature and the grapes that give our 15 hectares of vineyards. In the cellar we work to preserve and fully bring out all the characteristics of the grapes harvested strictly by hand in crates. We are very attached to the traditional family production taught by Nonno Tonio, who always seeks the genuineness of the wine. Compared to the past, we have improved various aspects of winemaking: From temperature-controlled tanks for our Roero Arneis (the finest white wine in Piedmont), to mechanical winemakers to control maceration on the skins and red wine fermentations.

Alessandro Mo

[ENG] I like to define myself as a craftsman of winemaking. On my tiny estate located between the Monferrato and the Langhe I grow my own grapes. With the craft and knowledge handed down from generation to generation I tend my own vineyards and make wines which respect nature and are truly symbolic of this land and its traditions. It is my greatest reward to make my commitment and passion evident in each wine, along with the painstaking effort in taking care of each detail and getting better at it every day. With the ultimate goal of crafting genuine wines with a story worth being told. [ITA] Mi piace definirmi artigiano del vino: nella mia piccola realtà agricola coltivo direttamente i miei vigneti, sulle colline tra Monferrato e Langhe. Gesti e saperi tramandati da generazioni mi accompagnano non solo in vigna, ma anche in cantina, dove vinifico esclusivamente l'uva che produco, per ottenere un vino che rispetti territorio, tradizioni e ambiente. La mia più grande gratificazione è riuscire a trasmettere nel bicchiere la passione che mi accompagna in tutte le fasi del lavoro, la cura quotidiana dei dettagli, il desiderio di migliorarmi e di offrire sempre un prodotto autentico, che ha una storia da raccontare.

Granja Farm

Granja Farm is a small organic farm founded in 2015, based in the mountains around Chiomonte (Province of Turin), in the Upper Susa Valley. Here, we preserve and we defend forms of knowledge, experience and sharing, as well as seeds and stories. These seeds and stories are those of resistance, a resistance that has brought us from many parts of Italy to this valley in order to oppose the construction of the new Turin-Lyon railway line, a harmful and pointless infrastructural project. In this farm we exist, we resist, and we create. We do this by salvaging ancient vineyards and by nurturing them; by replanting and growing local varieties of wine in the many steep terraces that line the sides of these mountains; by placing beehives in the forests and the fields; by cultivating orchards and keeping livestock - including chickens, geese, goats, donkeys and horses - in freedom; by picking apples from neglected groves, and by providing hospitality to friends and volunteers from across the world. Ours is an experiment of human evolution together with nature. Vineyards Some have called winegrowing in this valley a 'heroic' form of agriculture. We prefer to call it Viticoltura di Resistenza, Resistant Viticulture. In the Upper Susa Valley, vines are often planted on terraces that are completely inaccessible for motor vehicles. Salvaging these vineyards has been - and still is - a collective practice that takes place among the age-old dry-stone walls, an encounter between different forms of knowledge and of experience. Our resistance happens as we prune the vines and clean our vineyards, as we set up new poles and plant new vines, as we fasten the fruit heads with threads of willow, and as we pick the grapes from these ancient vineyards. With no SO2 added at any point of the winemaking process, ours can be considered an artisan wine produced following a natural process, one that is based only on the work of indigenous yeast and on our own maintenance of the vines through organic and sustainable methods.

Cascina Galarin

It all began in the late 1700s, our ancestors built by hand the cellar which we continue to use today. When it came time to construct the family home they decided to add an extra touch to the front door, a solid wooden door with the carving of a rooster. This particular door still exists and it ís from here which we found the name and logo of the winery; “Galarin” was and continues to be the nickname of our family. Towards the end of the 80s, with Giuseppe Carosso as the oenologist. Cascina Galarin begin to bottle wine. There was a small but fundamental revolution in the philosophy of the family business: Giuseppe realised the importance of keeping the vineyards meticulous and taking great care of the growing process. By selecting only the best bunch of grapes during vinification and aging, along with the maximum respect of the variety and terroir is taken, as before this was not the case. In recent years Giuseppe Carosso has been joined by his two sons Marco and Giovanni. Both are very passionate to continue to work alongside their father and keep the family tradition of over 200 years alive. We take great pride in being attentive and respectful of nature and the environment. We are convinced that the quality of wine is born in the vineyard. We maintain our vineyards without the use of any herbicides or pesticides. This is to encourage the development and growth of different types of grasses among our rows, we want our consumers to be able to taste the natural flavors of our products.

AZIENDA AGRICOLA VIETTO

Nel cuore delle Langhe Piemontesi, a due chilometri da Barolo, tre chilometri da Novello, paese di cui fa parte, e tre da Monforte d’Alba, curata dalla cauta pace dei contadini che la abitano, ecco Panerole Una piccola borgata di 40 anime a 371 metri sul livello del mare. La terra dove siamo nati, ad alta vocazione per la produzione di Barolo, in cui crediamo e sperimentiamo e che ci è stata concessa di lavorare è parte integrante della nostra quotidianità e regola le nostre giornate durante tutto l’arco dell’anno: l’alternarsi delle stagioni, la posizione della vigna che va da sud a ovest, la composizione del terreno che da calcareo, argilloso o medio impasto lasciano un’ impronta significativa al prodotto finale e, soprattutto, il lavoro corale della nostra famiglia che si occupa di tutte le fasi della produzione dal lavoro in vigna fino al vino imbottigliato. Tutte le operazioni hanno come obbiettivo finale la ricerca della qualità nei vini nel rispetto dell’ ambiente con pratiche di lavorazione ecosostenibili.

Ca ed Curen

Ca ed Curen is a small family run business. We produce wine with the same passion handed down from Grandfather Giacomo, called CUREN, and then from Father Ercole, simple winegrowers, but very careful in choice of grape variety and position. Since a few years we produce wine on our own from our grapes, we propose different kinds of wine to get as close as possible to the tastes of the consumer. We really believe in what we do and in the quality of our products, but we rely more on the dialogue with clients to inform them that the production of a good wine begins in vineyard and continues in cellar.

VAIRA AURELY

Vaira Aurely born in the 2019 thanks to the passion of two brothers. We born in Vergne, a little district of Barolo and actually we grow 2 hectars of vineyards (Nebbiolo - Dolcetto - Barbera) and 3 hectars of hazelnuts. After a long experience in the winemaking, we decided to start a little production extremely focused in quality. Our first harvest was 2019, which we dedicated to our dad for the 20th anniversary of his dead. It's thanks to him if today we can work some of the most beautiful plots in the area and it's thanks to him if we have learned to think critically. Our first wine is named "controcorrente" which literally means "countercurrent flow". It's a 100% Nebbiolo, but made with a different winemaking technique, that makes it fresher and more elegant. First, a little percentage is vinified with whole cluster. Second, we didn't use any pressed wine, just the wine coming from the crushing of the grapes. After a refining of 6 months in cask (no toasted), we bottled just 1160 bottles and 34 magnums. L'azienda agricola Vaira Aurely nasce dalla passione di due fratelli. Siamo nati e cresciuti a Vergne, una piccola frazione del comune di Barolo e attualmente conduciamo due ettari di vigna (Nebbiolo - Dolcetto - Barbera) e 3 ettari di nocciole. Dopo una lunga esperienza nella produzione del vino, abbiamo deciso di iniziare una nostra produzione estremamente focalizzata sulla qualità. La nostra prima vendemmia è stata la 2019 che abbiamo dedicato a nostro papà per il ventenario della sua scomparsa. E' grazie a lui se oggi possiamo coltivare alcuni degli appezzamenti migliori della zona ed è grazie a lui se abbiamo imparato a pensare fuori dal coro. Il nostro primo vino si chiama "controcorrente" ed è portavoce di un nostro progetto, di una nostra visione. E' prodotto utilizzato 100% di uva Nebbiolo, ma vinificato con una tecnica che ne esalta la freschezza e l'eleganza. In primo luogo, una percentuale è stata vinificata a grappolo intero. Secondo, abbiamo utilizzato solamente il mosto fiore, nessun vino di pressa. Dopo un affinamento di 6 mesi in botte (non tostata) abbiamo imbottigliato 1160 bottiglie e 34 magnums.

La Casa in Collina di Amerio Giancarlo

La storia della famiglia Amerio inizia dal bisnonno Giovanni Battista, che nella cascina di Sant’Antonio, sulle splendide colline delle Langhe Astigiane produceva un vino dolce... e una nobile, austera e robusta Barbera d’Asti. Il suo soprannome, «Giaj» (in dialetto piemontese rosso di capelli) è servito alle generazioni successive per identificare vini dal carattere unico, legati indissolubilmente alla qualità della loro zona di provenienza. L’attaccamento alle proprie radici e lo spirito di affermare una precisa ed autonoma identità hanno spinto Carlo e poi Luciano e Giancarlo Amerio a proporre la loro tradizione e un personale stile dando vita ad una azienda agricola che ha sede nell’antica cascina di Sant’Antonio. La cura particolare alla vite, una vendemmia attenta alla salute di ogni grappolo, una vinificazione che si attiene alle tecniche più moderne, sono solo alcune delle caratteristiche legate a questi vini di alta qualità. Dieci ettari vitati regalano pregio al Moscato «Cà dù Giaj», Barbera d’Asti «Cà dù Giaj» e Oubliè «Cà dù Giaj». Il cuore dell’azienda, che ha le sue cantine in Canelli, resta la cascina di Sant’Antonio. Qui, la vita è più vera, e oltre a Luciano, Armanda e Giancarlo oggi a raccontare una storia di quattro generazioni legate al vino c’è Edoardo, giovane e prossimo futuro di un’azienda agricola che non smette di credere e prodigarsi nella cura dei vigneti di famiglia. Perché la forza dei vini «Cà dù Giaj» è negli uomini, nell’unicità, nella tipicità, nel loro essere diversi, ma soprattutto espressione di autenticità... ll lavoro dell’azienda agricola La Casa in Collina è prevalentemente orientato ai vigneti che rappresentano il cuore pulsante dell’attività. Le viti vengono trattate con estrema cura, attenzione e nel rispetto delle tecniche naturali e della produzione. Tutti i vigneti godono di una posizione ottimale. Vitigni autoctoni: il Moscato di Canelli e il Barbera d’Asti per vini semplici, schietti, tradizionali, come nello stile di una famiglia che crede nel territorio e in prodotti della terra frutto di una grande passione. The story of Amerio family begins with the great grand father Giovanni Battista who in Sant’Antonio farm on the splendid hills of Langhe Astigiane produced a sweet wine … and a very noble, complex and robust Barbera d’Asti. His nickname «Giaj» (in Piedmont dialect means “red-haired”)helped future generations to identify wines with a unique character, indissolubly linked to the quality of their area of origin. The strong attachment to their roots and the will to assert a precise and independent identity, have brought first Carlo and then Luciano and Giancarlo Amerio to suggest their own tradition and their personal style. With this in mind, they have established the family farm which is located in the old Sant’Antonio farmhouse premises. The special attention to the vine, a very health-conscious harvesting technique for each grape and a vinification which adheres to the most modern techniques are just some of the characteristics linked to these high quality wines. Ten hectares of vineyards give value to the Moscato «Cà dù Giaj», Barbera d’Asti «Cà dù Giaj» and Oubliè «Cà dù Giaj». The heart of the winery, which has its cellars in Canelli, is Sant’Antonio farmhouse. Here, life is more genuine and to tell you the story of four generations of winemaking, in addition to Luciano, Armanda and Giancarlo we have today Edoardo, a young and promising future of the winery who never stops believing and does his best in the care of the family vineyards. The strength of «Cà dù Giaj» wines is in men, in its uniqueness, in its tipicality, in their diversity but foremost in its expression of authenticity… The work of the farm “La Casa in Collina” is mainly oriented towards the vineyards which are at the center of the activity. The vines are treated with utmost care and attention following the natural production techniques. All vineyards enjoy the best exposure. Local grape varieties: Moscato di Canelli and Barbera d’Asti are simple, pure and traditional wines like the style of the family that believes in the territory and its products, result of a great passion.
