About our wines

The cultivation of our vineyards is done by my father Bruno. He carefully manages all the production stages, from the pruning to the final harvest. In our vineyards we do not use herbicidal products and the number of treatments is reduced to the minimum required, in order to protect the land and soil, the consumers health as well as the environment in which we live in. We believe frimly that great wines come from healthy soil.

The grapes reach our cellar in perforated cases after being handpicked. From there the process of turning the grapes into the precious “Bacchus nectar”. To achieve well balanced wines, all the grapes are carefully selected on their exposure to the sun, yield and type of soil. All these steps result into great quality wines, both to our “daily” wines as well as to our top wines. 

The traditional Barbera d’Alba “Donia” is vinified in stainless steel tanks, while “Monfrini” and “Pasau” are aged in quality oak barrels for sixteen months; Bonarda Piemontese is an autochthonous wine from our area, as well as Langhe Dolcetto and Piemonte Grignolino. Roero Arneis “Monfrini” (which owns a DOCG-label since 2005), Langhe Arneis, Chardonnay from the “Cherpore” vineyard, and finally an exclusive Passito from Arneis grapes.

Our cellar is open to visits year-round and we will be pleased to show you our vineyards to provide you with further details, anecdotes and experiences about our cultivation methods and to invite you to taste our wines, giving to you a glance of the beautiful reality we live in!
