The Four Superiors at the Ugo Balocco winery

Tasting of 4 flagship wines from the winery + samples of typical local products

The wonderful Monferrato region and the family hospitality you feel in this small winery provide the backdrop for discovering the area's most representative wines

The Ugo Balocco winery stands on one of the most beautiful hills in Monferrato. From this position, you can see the profiles of neighboring villages perched on rolling hills and the Alpine arc, which offers one of Piedmont’s most evocative and colorful views on clear autumn days.

The labels produced are the classic and important wines of the region: Barbera d’Asti, Dolcetto, Moscato d’Asti, Dry Moscato and Nizza DOCG.

The latter is produced exclusively in certain municipalities in the province of Asti bordering the town of Nizza Monferrato.

The unique feature is the bottle labels: they aren’t just simple illustrations, but memories linked to childhood and moments from the past narrated by Luca and Simone Balocco, Ugo’s grandsons.

The visit and tasting

We offer you a tasting of 4 flagship wines from our production accompanied by a sampling of local products (cold cuts and cheeses), combined with a winery tour.

The winery tour will allow you to discover the steps that lead to the finished product, the work in the vineyard and cellar, and the unique characteristics of the area.

If you wish and weather permitting, it’s possible to organize a short walk in the vineyard among the Barbera and Moscato rows adjacent to the winery.

The tasting includes samples of typical local products and three different types of hazelnuts—roasted, sugared, or salted—produced by the farm.

    Philosophy

    A journey between past and present

    You'll enjoy an authentic experience that respects ties to the past: the recent renovation of the winery has preserved the exposed brick, barrel vaults, and Langa stone masonry, with a focus on practical and functional aspects.

    The experience

    In the winery, you follow the journey of the grapes

    During the visit, you follow the same path through the winemaking and aging rooms taken by the grapes, from the moment they arrive in the courtyard, well-protected in perforated crates, until bottling and labeling.
