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!

• 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.

  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.

• Franco Francesco

  A company with almost one hundred years of experience, which produces traditional wines but not only, according to the philosophy of good, clean and fair

  The Franco Francesco winery is located in the Terre Alfieri between the hills of Monferrato, Langhe and Roero in a hamlet of the town of San Damiano d’Asti, Valmolina.

  The farm, founded in 1933 by Francesco Franco, was then mixed in character as many of the realities of the time, and included in addition to viticulture also arable and livestock.

  In 1980 the Franco family decided to exclude breeding, but it is from 2007 that Maurizio and Francesco, current owners, focus on wine production renewing the winery and expanding the vineyards.

  Today the company has 18 hectares of vineyards, distributed between Alba and Asti, and produces 13 labels of reds, whites and spumante.

  Franco Francesco Vini sees wine as a moment of relaxation and joy, and focuses on producing it according to the philosophy of good, clean and fair: good relative to the sense of pleasure given by the wine and the feelings and memories it evokes; clean, or produced in respect of the ecosystems and the environment; fair, because it conforms to the concepts of social justice.

• Il Bosseto

  Il Bosseto winery is a family-owned business in Trezzo Tinella, where four brothers produce authentic wines from their own grapes, combining farming traditions and modern techniques, in a place where time still flows to the rhythm of nature.

  Il Bosseto winery is a family business, born and raised among the rows of vines in Trezzo Tinella.

  Until the previous generation, the Bera family’s farm looked like the classic small, multifunctional, self-sufficient operation, with the land divided equally between vineyards, peach orchards, hazelnut groves, fields and meadows for feeding cattle and sheep.

  Today, it has dedicated itself entirely to wine production, which here is a family affair: four brothers who cultivate their own vineyards and make wine exclusively from their own grapes, combining modern techniques with the wisdom passed down from their grandparents. The result is sincere wines that speak of the landscape, the seasons, and the people who live it every day.

  A place where time still follows the rhythm of nature, and each bottle is a piece of a story to be discovered.
