The most famous wineries in the Langhe Find out which ones to visit in 2025

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

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.

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!

• 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.

• Runchét

  Cascina Runchét is located in Treiso. Here, Andrea and Beatrice produce Barolo, Barbera, Moscato, Chardonnay and Nebbiolo wines. Their Winery welcomes wine enthusiasts for guided tours and direct sales in the company.

  The Azienda Agricola Runchét agricultural company was established in 2012, in Treiso, on the UNESCO hills, by Andrea and Beatrice.

  It is SQNPI-certified, the ministerial hallmark of Sustainable Quality, and is therefore able to ensure the cultivation of products, in this case grapes, according to agronomic techniques that respect the environment and human health.

  After years of experience both in important local wineries and in foreign agricultural and viticultural production centers, (Australia, Chile, New Zealand), the young Piedmontese couple realized their dream of producing a range of wines according to their personal interpretation of making wine the way it used to be made.

  Thus, the philosophy is to make tradition contemporary through the use of modern techniques, knowledge and skills gained through experience.

  The wines produced are Langhe classics including the important Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG: Barbera d’Alba DOC, Langhe DOC Chardonnay, Moscato d’Asti DOCG, Langhe DOC Nebbiolo.

  A dream with ancient origins

  The farmstead within which the winery is located, known as Cascina Ronchetti existed in the early 1900s and is owned by Domenico, formerly a merchant of the estate grapes and Beatrice’s father, a supporter and important helper in the implementation of the Runchèt project.

• Scarpa Wines

  An ancient winery founded in 1854 on the principles of Burgundy enology, which produces the great wines of Monferrato and Langhe

  The Scarpa winery, founded in 1854 at the behest of the Venetian migrant Antonio Scarpa, covers part of the history of wine-growing Piedmont, in particular of Monferrato.

  The long fil rouge of the company, however, is linked to a production philosophy rather than to a territory, thanks to the intervention of Mario Pesce, a winemaker from Nizza.

  Mario, trained in Burgundy, learns some important fundamentals such as low production yields, long macerations and fermentations, refinements in large wooden barrels and above all the art of long bottle aging, and begins to apply his knowledge to wines from Monferrato.

  His nephew Carlo, a lesser known figure, but of equal substance for the development of the winery, insists on the purchase of Poderi Bricchi, the 50-hectare estate between Castel Rocchero and Acqui Terme, still the company headquarters.

  Starting from 2018 Scarpa no longer represents only the high quality of Monferrato: with new land in Verduno, La Morra and Neive, the name of the winery also makes its way into the complex world of Barolo and Barbaresco.
