Not just big names: the best “underdog” wineries in the langhe

However, there are not only well-known companies such as those listed: it is beyond enriching to visit small local producers who will give you a welcome that is perhaps less “prestigious,” but certainly more familiar and genuine. Below are some suggestions!

• Franco Francesco

  A company with almost one hundred years of experience, which produces traditional wines but not only, according to the philosophy of good, clean and fair

  The Franco Francesco winery is located in the Terre Alfieri between the hills of Monferrato, Langhe and Roero in a hamlet of the town of San Damiano d’Asti, Valmolina.

  The farm, founded in 1933 by Francesco Franco, was then mixed in character as many of the realities of the time, and included in addition to viticulture also arable and livestock.

  In 1980 the Franco family decided to exclude breeding, but it is from 2007 that Maurizio and Francesco, current owners, focus on wine production renewing the winery and expanding the vineyards.

  Today the company has 18 hectares of vineyards, distributed between Alba and Asti, and produces 13 labels of reds, whites and spumante.

  Franco Francesco Vini sees wine as a moment of relaxation and joy, and focuses on producing it according to the philosophy of good, clean and fair: good relative to the sense of pleasure given by the wine and the feelings and memories it evokes; clean, or produced in respect of the ecosystems and the environment; fair, because it conforms to the concepts of social justice.

• Roberto Abellonio

  Roberto states that he’s firstly a passionate consumer of the great wines of Langhe, who works hard to vinify a product that he himself likes to drink.

  Roberto Abellonio’s cellar is the demonstration that pursuing one’s passion and believing in it all the way allows you to achieve even the most ambitious goals.

  The nineteenth-century Cascina Piccaluga, inherited from Roberto’s family, stands above one of the most beautiful territories in the world, facing the towers of Alba and to the incomparable panorama of the hills of Treiso and Barbaresco.

  When 20 years ago the producer took over the old family vineyards and decided to get involved and produce wines, in a land already saturated with large cellars, he did so with the certainty of taking an insidious road.

  Yet in a short time, with the help of his wife Jessica and his cousin Alessandro, Roberto comes out with the first labels that from the beginning attract the attention of the local market.

  Roberto states that he’s first of all a passionate consumer of the great wines of Langhe.

  Both involved in confagricoltura, wife and husband manage to create important synergies with the other territorial realities such as a collaboration with the Segway tours, which involves them more in the tourism of the Langhe.

  Roberto states that he’s firstly a passionate consumer of the great wines of Langhe. He therefore works hard to vinify a product that he himself likes to drink.

  The contribution of the young Alessandro brings the most advanced and modern winemaking techniques to the cellar, which combined with uncompromising respect for the territory give life to elegant, fragrant and sincere wines.

• Giacomo Barbero

  Una realtà roerina di prima generazione, creata dal giovane produttore sulle orme del passato, ma con un’impronta moderna e sostenibile.

  The last name Barbero is well known in the lands of Roero, as well as historically linked to the winemaking tradition.

  Giacomo’s company, however, is a new reality, which certainly builds on the previous experience of its predecessors, but with the intention of reinventing itself and following its own path.

  Located in Canale, the winery was born in 2015 with the purchase by the young producer of a first vineyard of 3 hectares in the municipality of Vezza d’Alba in Valmaggiore.

  In 5 years the company has grown and made a name for itself in the local market, immediately presenting itself as a sustainable reality, attentive to the well-being of the land: still under construction, the winery focuses on the use of renewable energies, in addition to using techniques with less impact in the vineyard.

• Cascina Torniero

  A winery run entirely in the family by Giuliano, Roberto, Silvia and Stefano Migliasso who take care of the vineyards, eight hectares of hazelnuts and two hectares of peaches, thus confirming their dedication to diversified agriculture.

  Beginning in the 1950s, in the small and charming commune of Castellinaldo, Cascina Torniero of the Migliasso brothers has been writing its own history, where tradition, quality and diversity are essential identity elements.

  A family in the vanguard since the early 1970s, when founder Giuseppe Migliasso was already making wine from Arneis, Barbera and Nebbiolo, which still lacked the Controlled Designation of Origin.

  The winery today is run entirely in the family by Giuliano, Roberto, Silvia and Stefano Migliasso, who take care of the vineyards, eight hectares of hazelnuts and two hectares of peaches, thus confirming their dedication to diversified agriculture.
