Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soils:
- Limestone
- Terroir:
- The grapes are harvested mostly in the “Valon” (the Valley) vineyard, located in Canelli. The vineyard, was planted since1978. With a northwest exposure on a 10% slope, the plot has a widely prevalent calcareous soil, which favours water drainage and is poor in organic substances, with alternating strata of sand, tuff and clay. Owing to the low ridges around it, the site enjoys many hours of lighting without heat peaks, thanks to its exposure and to constant breezes. The grapes are always in a very healthy state, and are characterized by excellent aromas and acidity, that make it possible to delay harvest until the desirable sugar content has been obtained. The presence of Chardonnay Musqué is significant and adds to the bouquet’s complexity.

My wife Giuliana and I personally manage over 11 hectares of vineyards in Canelli, in Piedmont, within a charming landscape on the border between Langhe and Monferrato, recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As a winemaker, I oversee both the vineyards and the cellar, combining innovation with the traditions of Piedmont to enhance quality. Respect for the environment guides every choice we make, promoting sustainable practices that preserve biodiversity. Our production includes sparkling wines such as Alta Langa Metodo Classico, alongside Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Barbera d’Asti, Nizza, Albarossa, and Moscato Canelli, a sweet, lightly sparkling wine, typical of this land
