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!

• Fabrizio Battaglino

  Fabrizio is a small Roero winemaker who, together with his family, follows the entire production cycle: from the vineyard to the finished product.

  Fabrizio’s company is small, but great for goals and ambitions.

  The vineyard area has 5 hectares of vineyards, which allow family management and, above all, attention to the smallest details of the entire production cycle.

  In the vineyard nature grows lively and luxuriant: Fabrizio does not use herbicides and undertakes to keep chemical treatments to a minimum.

  Always with a view to respecting the environment, the winery is powered by green and clean energy, thanks to solar panels that eliminate the need to use gas.

  Every year about 25,000 bottles are produced, all vinified with healthy grapes and with great care, from fermentation to bottling.

  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.

• Tenuta Il Nespolo

  Tenuta il Nespolo is a young winery in Moasca, born out of a family tradition and led by Luca Amerio, producing authentic, territorial wines to be discovered among the rows of vines and the stories of the winemaker.

  In Moasca, in a privileged position between the Langa Astigiana and the Monferrato, Tenuta il Nespolo comes to life, a winery that is young but rooted in a long family tradition.

  At the helm of the winery is Luca Amerio, the third generation of winemakers, who has chosen to transform the family legacy into a personal and contemporary project.

  Tenuta il Nespolo was thus born from a desire for authenticity, passion and independence. Every choice, from the vineyard to the winery, is guided by a philosophy that focuses on the land, respect for natural rhythms and the quality of the wines.

  An adventure that began with courage and concreteness, which today translates into bottles capable of telling the identity of a place and the character of those who live there, to be discovered and tasted directly in the winery, between the rows and the stories told by the producer.

• Cascina Bauci

  Cascina Bauci is located in the hills of La Morra and is run by Emanuele Buganza and Marta Indra Di Giulio. Here wine production, art, Mindfulness and wellness experiences are blended, creating a unique and regenerating environment.

  Cascina Bauci is a unique and evocative place nestled in the hills of the Langhe, in La Morra. More than just a winery, it is a center dedicated to artistic production, Mindfulness and experiential wellness.

  Here, traditional tastings are transformed into immersive and rejuvenating experiences, offering a journey of reconnection with nature and with oneself. In addition to wine, Cascina Bauci offers meditative paths, creative workshops, holistic activities and moments of conviviality between art and food.

  The project is the result of a meeting between Emanuele Buganza, a born winemaker, actor and puppeteer for RAI and international productions, and Marta Indra Di Giulio, Mindfulness teacher, social and community theater expert, taster and performer.

  Together, we manage unconventional art spaces with performance art, theater and visual art activities.

  Art and nature in continuous dialogue

  Cascina Bauci is also an art residency that welcomes selected artists.

  Names such as Matteo Raciti, Bruno Geda, Tonichina, Irene Von Dorigotti and Lorenzo Gianmario Galli have contributed to the creation of works that enrich the farmhouse, experimenting with different techniques and materials, but always with a common thread: the profound bond between human beings and nature.

  Prominent among these installations is Matteo Raciti‘s Oltrecielo, a work that visitors can walk through and experience firsthand, becoming an integral part of the space that houses it.
