Сantina
La Piemontina would like to thank all participants of our project.
Thanks to all the former owners who gave us their land rights.
LANDS La Piemontina 51,30 ha |
VINEYARDS La Piemontina 21 ha |
The story of the Cantina starts in 2010 with acquisition of the first land plot destined to become a vineyard.
The soils of our vineyards are morainic, originating from the ancient glaciers (Morainic - Alluvial).
The surface of the land is made up of clays, kaolins and tuffs.
Theclay, with the finest texture, absorbs water and gradually releases it to the roots.
Kaolin (white clay that covers the vines with its dust) reflects sunlight, protecting the foliage and grape berries from changes in temperature, as well as prevents yellowing and burning.
Tuff is a rich source of minerals.

«I have grown up surrounded by the aroma of fermented wine and sounds of barrels being washed under the window of my childhood bedroom. At home we drank and «breathed» wine»
