Paolo Sandri The farmhouse of taste
Business Hours
Mon–Sun 09:00:00 → 18:00:00
In the upper part of Castagnito, the Azienda Agricola Paolo Sandri is a family-run reality that combines wine production with the cultivation of fruit and vegetables and the preparation of artisanal preserves, following the rhythms of nature and the traditions of Langhe and Roero.
Welcoming you are Paolo and Leyla Sandri, who take pleasure in sharing their work and daily life at the company. They are joined by Grandma Rita, always ready to tell memories and anecdotes of a life dedicated to the countryside and local traditions.
We are a small, large family: in which every product is a dear child, to be cared for and presented in its best guise.
From the panoramic garden, where you can stop to enjoy a glass of wine, the gaze sweeps over the vineyards and the villages that dot the hills. A quiet corner in which to take a break and appreciate the landscape that surrounds the company.
This is where guided tastings take place: our wines take center stage, thoughtfully paired with ready-to-eat preserves and goods from our garden to complement every step of the experience.
As you pass through the gates and follow the vineyard paths leading to the cellar, you are immediately greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere—an authentic, homely setting that offers a taste of what’s to come.
A story that
begins in 2003
in Castagnito
A family story that starts from sharecropping at Cascina Saracco and spans several generations, until the birth of the farm and its wine production.
The origins of the Azienda Agricola Paolo Sandri are linked to the historic Cascina Saracco, where Paolo's great-grandfather worked the land as a sharecropper. The relationship of trust established with the owners of the farmhouse marked the beginning of a family bond with these lands, continued from generation to generation.
For many years the activity focused on the cultivation of the land and the production of wine, intended above all for family consumption and bulk sale. At the end of the nineties, the idea of creating its own label took shape and, in 2003, the Azienda Agricola Paolo Sandri was officially born.
Over time, the winemaking spaces were expanded, new rooms for aging and storage were created, new vineyards were acquired and crops were diversified.
Today the family continues to directly follow the different phases of agricultural work and winemaking, preserving the knowledge passed down from previous generations.
The Wines
The grape varieties of Langhe and Roero between tradition and personal interpretations
The production includes a selection of wines that allows you to get to know different varieties and styles, from the freshest and most immediate expressions to those with greater structure, through some of the most representative denominations of Langhe and Roero.
The Nebbiolo grapes are the protagonists of three labels: the Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC and the Langhe DOC Nebbiolo, which offer two interpretations of the same variety, and Nebi, a fresh and versatile rosé.
Among the other reds, the Barbera d’Alba DOC, lively and suitable for different occasions, and the Langhe DOC Dolcetto, with a soft and pleasant drinkability, stand out. To these is added El Disné, whose name in Piedmontese dialect recalls the moment of the meal and conviviality.
The selection is completed by the whites, with the Langhe DOC Arneis, with fresh and floral notes, and the Langhe DOC Favorita, characterized by a good structure and a delicate aromatic profile.

A timeless ritual renewed every autumn: hand-harvesting in small crates ensures that only the finest Roero grapes reach the cellar.
Products
The company is not just a winery, but a true agricultural reality where vineyards, orchards and seasonal crops coexist
Alongside the wine production, the Azienda Agricola Paolo Sandri cultivates fruit, vegetables and cereals, transforming part of the harvest into preserves and artisanal specialties. A choice that reflects the family’s philosophy: to enhance the different crops and bring products linked to seasonality and peasant tradition to the table.
From the orchard come apricots, peaches and ramassin, small plums typical of the territory, used to prepare jams and fruit in syrup. The peaches are also paired with chocolate and amaretti, according to a classic combination of Piedmontese cuisine, while a jelly is born from the grapes that preserves their taste.
The cultivation of cereals allows for flour for polenta, corn for popcorn and corn cakes. The range is completed by toasted hazelnuts, another representative product of these hills.
The preparations follow the succession of the harvests, offering a different way to get to know the company’s work and the variety of its crops.
The preserves of the peasant tradition
The summer version of the traditional Piedmontese dip: fresh seasonal vegetables, sliced and dipped in a light, delicate oil dressing, perfect for warm summer days.
Our fields yield simple, authentic ingredients, grown in harmony with the natural rhythm of the seasons.
Made with simple, wholesome ingredients, ready to bring all the rich flavor of sun-ripened tomatoes to your table.
