Our organic wines from Roero, Piedmont, are produced from grapes grown on the slopes of the hills of San Vito in Montà.
In the fields, in the vineyard, in the cellar
Our vineyards
Our farm covers around 13 hectares, 2 of which surround the farmhouse and are planted with vines.
The south-east and south-west exposure, the altitude of 360 metres and the clay-sandy soil give our wines structure, balance and intense aromas. This same soil is rich in fossilised shells, a reminder of when these hills used to be seabed.
For generations, we have cultivated the land with the utmost respect. The low yield per hectare in our vineyards ensures that only healthy, fully ripe grapes reach the cellar. In recent years, we have embraced organic farming: from the 2022 harvest onwards, our wines are certified organic. This choice reflects who we are and our passion for our work and for this land.
Our wines
The organic wines of Cascina Ponchietta
Each wine is produced as a single-varietal wine and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromas and freshness of the fruit. The reds are best served at 16–18°C, the Caio is to be served chilled, at 8–10°C.
Langhe Nebbiolo DOC
Nebbiolo grapes, aged for 12 months in steel and a further 6 in the bottle. Ruby red with a garnet hue that develops with age.
On the nose, intense aromas of red berry fruits. On the palate, soft and velvety, with well-balanced tannins. Can be aged from 8 to 10 years. Pairs well with red meat, wild game and aged cheeses.
Piemonte Barbera DOC
Barbera grapes, harvested around mid-September.
Aged for 12 months in stainless steel, followed by a further 6 months in the bottle. Bright ruby red with violet hues, with aromas of cherry and blackberry. Soft and fresh on the palate, can be aged for up to 4 years. It’s a natural match for traditional Piedmontese pasta dishes, cured meats and medium-aged cheeses.
Caio, an aromatic wine made from Brachetto grapes
It’s our most unusual wine, and perhaps the one most loved by those who discover it. Produced from long-stemmed Brachetto grapes, grown in Montà. Cold maceration followed by 8 months in stainless steel. The result is a dry aromatic wine, brilliant red with pink hues and an intense aroma of rosehip.
It’s perfect as an aperitif, with vegetable starters, asparagus risotto or at the end of a meal with dry pastries.
