the vineyards

The vineyards are situated
in the south of the Lower Monferrato, around the villages
of Cerrina Monferrato, Odalengo, Sala Monferrato and Quarti
di Pontestura. Instead of the comfort of having a single
area of vineyards around the cellar, we have preferred
to have a variety of unique terroirs and to value the
old Barbera vineyards in the region. The vineyards are
all in interesting micro-climates, but share the white
calcareous clay soils that mark the wines.
Low yields per vine give the
grapes complex and elegant aromas and lays the foundation
for structured, full bodied but at the same time elegant
wines. We currently have 18 hectares in production, nine
of our own, and nine on long term leases.
