The nobility of wine is precisely this: that it is never a detached, abstract object that can be judged by drinking a glass, or two or three, of a bottle that comes from a place where we have never been.

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.

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!

  • Gatti Piero

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

    Cantina Gatti Piero vista dalle vigne

    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.

  • Bosca

    Bosca – cantina8

    A curiosity that many people do not know? Sparkling wine originated in Italy, even more specifically in the town of Canelli.

    And it was in this town in the heart of the “Langa Astigiana” that Pietro Bosca founded his company in 1831, destined to grow and evolve for the following two centuries.

    Two centuries in which the soul of true sparkling wine makers never subsides, but rather is passed on from generation to generation (6, to be exact) allowing the family to maintain the business reins to this day.

    Common element throughout all these years was the ability to remain faithful to the teachings of the past while keeping the doors open to innovation, leading to the birth of new, young, alternative products suitable for everyone.

  • Matteo Soria

    Matteo and his father Sergio carry on the family business playing on the strength of their land: the Moscato

    matteo_soria_moscato_trattore

    The company is located in Castiglione Tinella, more precisely in the small hamlet of San Martino.

    The area is particularly suited to the cultivation of Moscato, which is the almost absolute protagonist of the company’s production.

    The past

    The history of the Matteo Soria farm began in 1800, when Matteo’s great-grandfather began to cultivate white Moscato, Dolcetto and Barbera and produce bulk wine.

    From that moment, his passion was handed down from father to son, in a succession of changes and choices aimed at modernizing the winery and increasing its production.

    With the passage of time and a lot of experience, around the 90s, the Sorias decided to dedicate all their efforts to the cultivation and production of Moscato.

    In fact, the land of the property’s hills is predominantly sandy and gives the grape, and wine, the typical musky aroma that is perceivable in the nose from the first taste.

    The present

    Today the winery is run by Matteo, the youngest of the family, and by his father Sergio.

    Each has its own role: Matteo takes care of the wine-making processes, Sergio takes care of the forty hectares of vineyards that surround the company.

    With Matteo and Sergio, new technologies have arrived, indispensable for making the best grapes and obtaining the best quality.

    The wines produced on the farm in greater quantities are Moscato d’Asti DOCG and Asti DOCG Extra Dry, the two symbolic denominations of the area.

    In addition, there is a small production of Brut Cuvée Metodo Classico based on 100% Pinot Nero grapes, worked with the champenoise method, and one of Asti Dolce DOCG, made with moscato grapes.
