Founded in 1892, the winery covers 27 hectares of vineyards and its main core is in Monferrato.

Luigi Einaudi Estates

Poderi Luigi Einaudi is a farm founded in 1897 by the President of the Italian Republic, Luigi Einaudi, in the heart of the Langhe, in Dogliani.

The farm began as a wine estate, but in later years it expanded to become a full-fledged farm, also growing grains, hazelnuts and other crops counting 13 farms of about 70 hectares.

In 1998, Poderi Luigi Einaudi obtained “Organic Farm” certification for the production of wine, olives and hazelnuts.

Today, Poderi Luigi Einaudi is run by the fourth generation of the Einaudi family and produces a wide range of wines, including the famous Barolo, but also Barbera, Langhe Nebbiolo and other white wines such as Roero Arneis.

The Asthemia Pentita: art, design and signature wine

Curiously evocative in name, the winery was established in 2007 by Sandra Vezza, “the repentant teetotaler” herself.

The winery’s architecture is characterized externally by two large stacked blocks reproducing two wine crates and surrounded by the rows of vines of its production.

Not only externally but also internally it is capable of amazement: large multicolored murals, Gufram design pieces like an unconventional and dreamlike pop dream combined with the quality of wines from original labels for whites and reds such as Barbera, Nebbiolo, Nascetta and Dolcetto.

The winery is committed to environmental sustainability and uses organic and biodynamic farming techniques to cultivate its vineyards. It is also dedicated to the preservation and recovery of native grape varieties in the area.

For those who love contemporary art.

Highlights:

• Multicolored murals and Gufram design works in a pop and unconventional atmosphere.
• Tastings of Barbera, Nebbiolo, Nascetta and Dolcetto, accompanied by a story about the organic and biodynamic techniques adopted to preserve native varieties.
• An innovative vision of hospitality, where art and sustainability meet to make every visit a memorable moment.

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!

• Sylla Sebaste

  An elegant family-run company that produces several local wines including Barolo, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Moscato, Arneis and offers the opportunity to have lunch in the cellar, in the restaurant Bricco delle Viole.

  Along the road that leads from Barolo to La Morra, since 2000 the Sylla Sebaste cellar has been producing classic Piedmont wines of refined quality.

  Erected right on the summit of the hill San Pietro delle Viole, which overlooks a wonderful view of vineyards and the whole of the Alba Langa, the cellar has taken on through the years, as its symbol, the effigy of the splendid 14th century chapel that stands in front of it: San Pietro delle Viole’s chapel.

  The cellar is owned by the Merlo family and is led with great passion by Fabrizio Merlo with valuable collaboration from his oenologist Luca Caramellino.

  A cozy, female-run winery that produces Piedmont’s excellent sweet wines: Moscato and Brachetto, complemented by a small production of table wines.

  We are located on the hill of Moncucco in Santo Stefano Belbo, an area renowned for the production of Moscato, the sweet wine par excellence of this area of Langhe.

  The company was founded in 1988 by Piero Gatti, a man with a great passion for his work and linked to a long farming tradition.

  Since 2000, the management has been all-female: Barbara is in full-time charge of all processes from vineyard to bottle.

• Massimo Rivetti

  Massimo Rivetti Winery is a historic family-run estate in Neive that produces high-quality organic wines in the Langhe, offering vineyard visits, tastings, and authentic hospitality.

  Visiting the Massimo Rivetti winery means entering a welcoming, bright space designed with great attention to hospitality, to offer a smooth and engaging tour, where each area flows harmoniously into the next.

  The territory and the estate’s philosophy

  The winery is located a few kilometers from Neive, one of the most charming and evocative villages in the Langhe.

  Production is inseparable from respect for the territory. The entire vineyard area of 25 hectares is managed organically: since 2009, the estate has stopped using insecticides and herbicides, obtaining full certification in 2016.

  The plots are concentrated around the historic farmhouses Froi, Garassino, and Bussolino. Here, about 100,000 bottles per year are produced, with a strong emphasis on the great classics, including Barbaresco and Langhe Nebbiolo, alongside other traditional and international varieties.

  Production, sustainability, and organic identity

  The commitment to sustainability is also reflected in the architecture of the new winery, designed to be energy self-sufficient thanks to the photovoltaic system and equipped with a rainwater collection system.

  The structure is partially underground: this solution takes advantage of the natural thermal regulation of the soil, maintaining an ideal and constant temperature in the aging and maturation areas, avoiding energy consumption for climate control.

• Ca ‘d Tantin

  A small, family-run winery in Calosso that produces exclusively organic wines from its own vineyards and offers the possibility of different tasting sessions, both in the winery and between the rows.

  The small family-run farm is located in the hills of the municipality of Calosso, in a valley that the family already inhabited in the 1800s, an area declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014.

  All Ca ‘d Tantin wines have been certified organic for over 20 years: both in the vineyard and in the cellar, the use of chemicals that would inevitably end up in the wine is strictly excluded.

  Wine is consumed first and foremost by those who produce it, which is why it must be good and healthy, preferring quality over quantity.

  This was already the thinking of grandfather Gioele, born in 1905, a man with an open and modern mentality, a forerunner of the ideals developed by his son Costantino and grandsons Andrea and Marco Venturino, his successors and today the owners of Ca ‘d Tantin.
