The tasting
An experience of food and wine pairing, with wine as the protagonist
For us, the opportunity to welcome you and tell you about our work is of fundamental importance: the wine speaks for itself, but tasted within the same walls that see it being born and taking shape, it is capable of expressing itself to its full potential.
This is why tasting is the central element of our tour of the winery: the route starts in the tasting room, where my wife Maria and I will present our labels and talk about how they are produced.
Ours is not the typical tasting offered in the small cellars of the area: while maintaining the absolute centrality of wine, we like to play with food pairing to further emphasize the characters of each variety. The cutting boards we serve therefore offer a few more pairings than the usual cold cuts and cheeses.

The visit route: an example of a tour
The introduction
Let’s start by specifying that you will always find me or my wife to welcome you, the same people who actively handle all aspects of production.
First we will make you sit in the tasting room, recently renovated and refurbished. Here, after a first moment of presentations, we will begin with a short presentation of the company’s history and production philosophy, to give you an idea of our reality.
We will then talk about the Roero area, in general, and more in detail about the hills that surround us: the composition of the soil, the microclimates, the most produced varieties. Depending on the interest and preparation of the group, we will go into the various topics to a greater or lesser extent, creating the basis for an informed tasting.
Time to taste
Then is the turn for the most awaited moment, in which the theory seeks practical confirmation. Depending on the type of tasting chosen, we will begin to serve you the wines, starting with the whites and gradually increasing in complexity and structure.
Each label will be introduced briefly, and then tasted together, at the same time playing with the food-wine combination thanks to the matching mixed platters.
At the end of the tasting we will move to the cellar for a quick tour of the production areas.
The tour of the winery
Starting from the winemaking rooms we will show you the wine route, with a more or less technical and in-depth explanation. Here you can ask us questions about how we work in the cellar!
We will then continue in the aging rooms (barricaia) where the most precious wines of our production rest, a charming and quiet environment, where – if the moment is right – we will let you taste some wines in progress.
Ending on a sweet note
If the type of tasting you have chosen includes it, at this point we will return to the tasting room for a glass of our passito, paired with a dessert of our production (hazelnut cake or chocolate salami).
Are you interested in a walk in the vineyard? Please let us know when booking!
The tour of the vineyard is not normally included in the visit: the closest is about 1km from the winery, so the time of the journey would lengthen significantly. However, if you are interested in adding this stage, we just need to know it in advance to get organized!
