Andrea and Gianpiero Scavino, owners of Bel Sit, belong to a family of winegrowers. In 2019, they purchased the entire Bel Sit property, choosing to invest in Barbera d’Asti and the Castagnole delle Lanze area, the home of this historic wine.

This is a red wine that today stands as a product of excellence, earning the appreciation of critics and connoisseurs alike and holding its own among the great reds.

You'll taste the Barbera d'Asti La Turna—a word referring to the section of the vineyard running from top to bottom. It's an excellent expression of the Barbera grape, sure to impress anyone new to the world of red wines. It's a simple, accessible wine that ages in steel for six months and refines in the bottle for the same period.

Bel Sit

If the activity inspires you, discover more about the business behind it

Andrea and Gianpiero Scavino belong to a family of winemakers.

In 1996 they inherited from their father Giancarlo the share of the agricultural company I Vignaioli di Santo Stefano: a historic company for the production of Moscato d’Asti DOCG, located on the hills of Santo Stefano Belbo.

In 2019 they bought the entire Bel Sit property, choosing to invest in Barbera d’Asti and in the territory of Castagnole delle Lanze, home of this historic wine.

It is said that it was in this company that the production of Barbera di Castagnole delle Lanze named after the municipality began.

Defined as legendary by Cesare Pavese and generous by Giosuè Carducci, Barbera has gone through moments of alternating fortune.

Today it is presented as a product of excellence, able to obtain the appreciation of critics and connoisseurs and able to share the table with the great reds.

The estate also includes several hectares of Moscato and Cortese.

The winery

The cellar is located halfway up a hill in the shape of an amphitheater facing South-West, in an excellent position for the production of quality wines.

The perfect exposure allows for complete ripening and consequently particularly complex yet fine and elegant wines.
