Located at 15 Via Piumati in Bra and managed by Simona Turello, Enoteca Tenuta Montefantino is a true benchmark of taste.
On the store’s shelves it is possible to choose wines and specialties typical of the area and of all of Piedmont, flanked by food and wine excellences from outside the region and international ones such as fine spirits (whiskey, vodka, gin, aquavit).
All the products offered are selected by Simona who, with her knowledge and experience, accompanies each customer in making the ideal choice, ensuring a personalized buying experience.
Simona, in fact, recommends the best food and wine pairings, based on concordance, contrast or more simply by tradition, matching wines and dishes from the same territory.
The store also offers the possibility of customizing the labels of selected bottles, so as to make them unique and perfect to give as gifts on special occasions.
How the wine shop was born
Tenuta Montefantino is the family-owned winery of the same name based in Clavesana, where brothers Andrea and Mauro Ghigliano, Simona’s husband, Simona, produce the most representative DOC and DOCG wines of Piedmontese tradition.
The owners’ desire to distribute their wines outside the winery also led to the birth of the wine shop, a little gem full of mouthwatering delicacies.
In the wine shop, Simona guides buyers in their choice of bottles and products.
Processing the company’s own hazelnuts produces Montefantino-branded delicacies, including cake and spreads
In the wine shop you can buy Italian and foreign wines, grappas, typical products and many delicacies to create hampers and gift boxes
A story that
begins in 1950
in Bra
From its earliest days, the Ghigliano family devoted itself passionately to viticulture
The first documented traces of the Ghigliano family date from the second half of the 16th century, when they settled in Montefantino.
In 1790, the locality was renamed hamlet Ghigliani, as confirmed by a plaque found in the old cellar, now restored.
In the mid-19th century, the family also engaged in shoemaking, which continued until the beginning of World War I, without ever abandoning wine production.
The post-World War II period marked a turning point for the family. In the 1950s, the company recognized the potential of Piedmont wines and began producing them in small quantities, gradually expanding production.
This growth led to the birth of the Montefantino Estate Winery, now a symbol of wine-making excellence.
The first store was opened in Bra in 2005, followed by one in Turin in 2009 and, finally, a third in Carignano in 2012.
Brothers Mauro and Andrea Ghigliano represent the third generation of growers.
The inauguration of the new winery, a place of continuous experimentation through the use of different winemaking techniques and materials, took place in 2020.

The Clavesana winery
Passing through the winery you can taste Tenuta Montefantino wines and meet the producers
Since it is a family-run business, it is Simona, Andrea or Mauro who take care of the reception at the company’s headquarters in Clavesana, in the hamlet of Ghigliani 18.
We like to define our winery as “a wine workshop,” where we facilitate the natural fermentation processes of the grapes with study, experience and great respect for the processing material.
Spending moments in the winery allows you to learn about the world of wine and the company philosophy, which is embodied in traditionality and sustainability.
Here one shares values related to the environment, receives advice and learns to appreciate the wines, building a relationship of trust with the producer.
In addition, the charm of the winemaking premises also offers strong evocative power: the historic farmhouse, still retains its vaulted ceiling and exposed bricks.
Here, oak vats alternate with barriques and the most modern autoclaves for sparkling wine making, ensuring a state-of-the-art approach.
Upon request, it is possible to walk among the rows of dolcetto, sauvignon, nebbiolo and chardonnay grapes and discover how the owners care for the vines, trying to reduce the use of chemicals.
