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.

Mario Soldati

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.

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.

Cantina L'Astemia Pentita

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!

  • Ca’ Moranda

    A very young Neviglie winery, in the heart of the Langhe area, definable with three adjectives: young, innovative, sustainable.

    Ca Moranda – Serena

    In the heart of Langhe, a World Heritage Site, in Neviglie stands the Cà Moranda farm, a small, strictly family-run business, which has always been characterized by the production of grapes.

    Three adjectives for this winery: young, innovative, sustainable.

    The energy used for production is entirely obtained from photovoltaics, the grapes are selected and come from owned vineyards.

    The first bottles named Ca’ Moranda came out on the market in 2018, and were immediately characterized by very low chemical residues: the company is in fact certified SQNPI (National Quality System of Integrated Production), an abbreviation that guarantees the consumer a cultivation that is respectful towards the environment and human health.

    Although the actual age of the cellar is very young, the family boasts ancestors from Neive who produced wine already at the end of the 1800s; the first was the great-great-grandfather Stefano, born in class 1861, who brought the wine barrels by horse to the taverns of Alba; after him the great-grandfather Alfonso, and then grandfather Pietro.

    Today the company is run by his granddaughter Serena, with the help of her father Dino and mother Anna.

  • Rusél

    A large and bright tasting room welcomes visitors who want to discover the wines produced by this family-run winery. An opportunity to taste typical wines of Langhe and enjoy an unmissable view.

    Rusél

    We are in Frazione Tre Stelle, along the road that leads from Alba towards Barbaresco and Neive.

    The Rusél winery presents itself to visitors with the large and bright panoramic windows of the company wine shop used as a tasting room.

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

    The visit and tasting are personally conducted by Marco Rosselli.

    The visit to the winery

    The Cellar built in 2000 is underground and connected to the tasting room through an exposed brick tunnel. The same is used as a barrel room for aging.

    Inside are the steel tanks connected to the refrigeration system for fermentation control and the equipment for bottling and packaging.

    From here you can directly access the vineyard that overlooks the Cellar, finding yourself among the vines of Nebbiolo da Barbaresco.

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

    2012 also saw the opening of the new wine shop-tasting room adjacent to the Cellar offering sales and tasting of the company’s wines and a selection of local products.

  • Cà Neuva

    A typical Langa farmhouse with a centuries-old history behind it. Today, it still produces the representative wines of the territory, remembering the precious teachings of past generations.

    Cà Neuva - Bottle tasting

    Cà Neuva is a typical farmhouse that is well worth a visit. Sergio Abbona, the owner, and his wife Silvia, know how to convey their passion for wine and their work, welcoming visitors with great warmth.

    The winery is located in Dogliani, one of the most characteristic spots in the Langhe, and spans an area of 10 hectares where the various vineyards, the cellar, the tasting room, the office, and the home are located.

    The business started in 1924, but the Abbona family was already dedicated to viticulture toward the end of the 1800s, passing down the love for this craft to their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

    Gradual renovation over the years and the adoption of more modern and technological processing systems have made it possible to obtain select wines that are elegant and harmonious, without setting tradition aside.

  • Cascina Lo Zoccolaio

    A winery in Barolo awarded with prestigious accolades and particularly appreciated for its structure and panoramic location, surrounded by vineyards.
