In the fields, in the vineyards, in the cellar
“…Una dozzina di giornate, tutte a solatio, da tenere mezze a grano e mezze a viti. Con una riva da legna e anche un pratolino da mantenerci due pecore e una mula.”
Beppe Fenoglio – La malora
For generations our family has run a traditional farm in Montà d’Alba. We still breed Razza Piemontese cattle, we grow cereals, work in the vineyards and in the fields and, since 2000, we have also welcomed guests in our Agriturismo.
The farm covers approximately 13 hectares of our property; of these, 3 hectares are farmed with vineyards, on the gentle slopes of the hills of S. Vito which surround our Agriturismo.
The south-east and south-west exposure, the altitude of 360 metres above sea level, and the clayey-sandy soil are essential elements in the character of our wines.
The moderate yield per hectare and the attentive care paid to the vineyard allow us to bring perfectly healthy and ripe grapes to the cellar, obtaining balanced wines with good structure and pleasant, intense aromas.
In recent years, we have chosen to follow the protocol for organic production, and since the 2022 harvest our wines have been organically certified.
The interest and appreciation we receive are a source of great satisfaction for us.
Our organic wines
Upon request, it is possible to book a cellar visit with a tasting of our wines:
– Langhe ORGANIC DOC Nebbiolo: this is a dry red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, fermented in steel tanks and aged for 12 months in steel tanks and for another 6 months in the bottle. Our vineyards are located in the Roero, an area characterized by clayey and sandy soils.
This wine is ruby red in colour and acquires orange hues with ageing; it has a bouquet of red fruits and a soft, velvety taste with a good tannic balance. It can age for 8/10 years and pairs well with red meat, game and mature cheeses. Serve at a temperature of 16/18°.
– Piemonte ORGANIC DOC Barbera: this is the classic Piedmontese dry red wine, one of the most loved and appreciated. It is made from 100% Barbera grapes, usually harvested around mid-September; it is fermented in steel tanks and left to rest first in steel tanks for approximately 12 months and then in the bottle for another 6 months.
It has a ruby red colour with violet hues and a scent reminiscent of cherry and blackberry. The taste is soft and fresh, and this wine keeps well for 3/4 years. It is served at a temperature of 16/18° and is ideal with first courses, cold cuts and fresh or medium mature cheeses.
– Caio ORGANIC aromatic red wine: this is a particular dry rosé wine obtained from the vinification of 100% “Brachetto” grapes, a long-cluster grape variety grown in the municipality of Montà. The grapes are usually harvested around the middle of September and the must is fermented in steel tanks with cold maceration.
The wine is then left to mature for 8 months in steel tanks and bottled ready to be consumed. It has a pinkish colour, an intense scent of wild rose and a dry, slightly sweet taste. Serve fresh, at 8/10°, excellent as an aperitif, with vegetable-based appetizers or at the end of a meal with dry pastries.
