Additional Information
My name is Jessica, it’s my pleasure to guide you on a tour of the vineyards and our wine cellar.
With a fervent zeal for wine, we produce it with a deep regard for the environment, relentlessly striving for superior quality whilst acknowledging the inherent poetry present within wine.
Our aim is to provide visitors an immersive exploration into the world of oenology, particularly via tastings and an educational journey through the stages of wine production from cultivation to maturation.
Join us for a scenic stroll through the vineyard, where, varying with the seasons, you can observe and gain an understanding of the various processes through which wine is made. Learn how the wine journey starts in the vineyard and continues in the cellar from alcoholic fermentation to wooden-barrel aging.
The experience culminates with a wine tasting session, complemented by locally-sourced produce from leading local farms.
In the event of inclement weather, all activities are moved indoors.
Tours commence at 11:00 and 16:00, but if these time slots do not suit your schedule, please feel free to get in touch!

An unexpected experience. - It was a surprising and unforgettable meeting, enriched by the presence of a young enthusiast who was able to proudly convey his profound knowledge and passion for the world of wines. I highly recommend anyone to immerse themselves in a similar experience, where words blend with passion and the tastes to be explored are transformed into a unique sensorial journey. Through a series of careful notes, it was possible to learn not only the nuances of each individual wine, but also the secrets to better appreciate its elegance and complexity. This meeting represented a precious opportunity to enrich one's knowledge and to fully experience the art of tasting.

I love it - Good choice. The winery is easy to reach, close to Alba. We tasted 6-7 wine, and I love most of them. We visited the fermentation room as well as the cellar

THE PLACE TO BE.....FOR TASTING IN THE VINES!!!! - Great experience and a big thank you to Frédérika who took us on a journey by sharing this unique moment in the vineyards.
Clear explanations that really make you want to taste this nectar of the gods.
Perfect welcome, treated as a V.I.P (there were only two of us).
Very beautiful and good selection of Langhe wines to be enjoyed without moderation accompanied by cold meats and other antipastis from the region.
A pure moment of well-being.
We will remember with pleasure these delicious moments when we taste these bottles that we bought.
UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES!!!!

Highly Recommended!!! - Very friendly and competent wine tasting. There were two of us there and we were assigned a personal, young and very competent sommelier who showed us around the winery and then tasted 6 wines with us, including a cheese and sausage platter with crossini.... Absolutely recommendable for this price and the wines really have potential. We also got the insider tip from her to visit the small village of Neive, which I can warmly recommend to everyone....

Lovely family run vineyard and a must-try experience - Extremely interesting and entertaining tour through the vineyards to learn more about the history and processes of the piedmontese vines.
Delicious degustation paired with local products.
We were welcomed very warmly by the owners and were even offered a ride back to alba! Very much worth the visit!

Good visit - Presentation of the vineyard and the cellar. The lady who gave us the tour was great. She answered all our questions. The tasting was accompanied by cheeses and cold meats. These are not the wines we preferred to taste but it was a great visit.
