Coppo wineries in Canelli: the “infernot” UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

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

Its uniqueness, however, is hidden inside: in its basement there are, in fact, a series of ancient tunnels dug by hand into the tuff, called“infernot,” which are so striking that they became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014 and have allowed the wine to be perfectly preserved.

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.

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!

• Poderi Vaiot

  Family tradition and Roero terroir come together in the fine wines of Poderi Vaiot, where Daniele and his son Edoardo guard the soul of the Piedmont hills through such outstanding labels as Roero DOCG, Arneis, Nebbiolo and Alta Langa.

  Poderi Vaiot, a family-run winery where Daniele and his son Edoardo share the same passion for the land and wine, is located in Montà. Together, they proudly carry on a family legacy always focused on excellence.

  Deeply rooted in the land, the winery produces wines that are faithful expressions of this unique landscape, carefully respecting localidentity and traditions.

  Each bottle-from Roero DOCG to Roero Arneis and from Nebbiolo d’Alba to Alta Langa-tells the authentic soul of these hills.

  The vineyards extend in a privileged location near the fascinating Santuario dei Piloni, an ancient structure of Roman origin that dominates one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the Roero.

• Rusél

  A large and bright tasting room welcomes visitors who wish to discover the wines of this family-run Company. An excellent opportunity to taste typical Langhe wines and enjoy an unmissable panorama.

  You’ll find us in Frazione Tre Stelle, along the road which from Alba leads to Barbaresco and Neive.

  Visitors will notice that the Rusél company’s wine shop, which is also used as the tasting room, has large and bright panoramic windows.

  The Rosselli family takes care of all aspects, from hospitality to production.

  Visits and tasting sessions are carried out directly by Marco Rosselli.

  Visits to the Winery

  The Winery, built in 2000, is found underground and connected to the tasting room via an exposed brick tunnel. This same room is used as a Barriques cellar for aging.

  Inside you’ll find the steel tanks, connected to the refrigeration system which controls the fermentation and the bottling and packaging equipment.

  From this point, we access the vineyard that overlooks the winery and find ourselves among the Nebbiolo da Barbaresco vineyards.

  This land, which is well exposed, with marly and calcareous soil, is suitable for producing great aging wines.

  2012 also saw the inauguration of the new wine shop-tasting room, next to the Winery which sells and offers tastings of company wines and a selection of local products.

• Rizieri

  The winery was born from Arturo’s dream of becoming a producer and creating a sustainable reality, with wines of the highest quality. It is located in Diano d’Alba, one of the 11 municipalities that are part of the Barolo production area.

  Azienda Vitivinicola Rizieri has a different story from most local wineries.

  This young winery does not derive from a craft handed down through generations or from family land; instead, it was born from Arturo’s life project, who decided to put himself to the test and give shape to a dream.

  Conceived and realized with courage and tenacity, the company quickly made its way to the top of the local market as a sustainable producer of quality wines.

  Rizieri is located in Diano d’Alba, in Sorì del Ricchino, one of the 11 communes that make up the Barolo production area, and spreads over 14 hectares, 7.5 of which are vineyards.

  The remaining land consists of deciduous and mixed woodland, which contributes to the perfect microclimate for the well-being of the vineyards. These, surrounding the winery, are planted to Arneis, Dolcetto, Merlot and Barbera; in La Morra, one vineyard is planted to Nebbiolo da Barolo.
