Wines Barbera d'Asti DOC and Moscato d'Asti DOC in Canelli
Our red and white wines form Piedmont
Canelli is located in the Asti region, famous throughout the world for the local production of Asti Spumante
We own a farmstead of 11 hectares of vineyards among the hills of Canelli where we grow Barbera, Dolcetto, Cortese and Moscato grapes. These vineyards have belonged to our family for four generations.
We also have a one-hectare vineyard of Moscato grapes in Santo Stefano Belbo located next to our villa which has belonged to our family for four generations.
Santo Stefano Belbo has become a Heritage of UNESCO, and is situated in the Langhe region famous for its truffles and the production of Barolo wine.
The tradition of growing vinejards and producing wine has been handed down from generation to generation, and Cristina's father Franco is a prestigious oenologist with a degree in oenology who ensures that our wines benefit from modern knowledge and excellent procedures.
