The Avignolo Farm, founded in 1998 by Giuseppe Chiapella, is right on the border between Dogliani and Monforte, surrounded by land suitable for viticulture.
The combination of climatic and environmental factors makes the grapes from these lands particularly rich in aromas and flavors, an element that the family then manages to translate into the wines produced through meticulous care of the vineyards.
The vineyards are supervised by Giuseppe and his son Mirko, who personally take care of checking and thinning the bunches with skill to obtain a selected production of high value.
In addition to the vineyard, in the colder areas where the quality of the wines would not have been optimal, the Avignolo company has decided to include hazelnut plants.
The Wines
A land that lends itself to the maximum expression of Dolcetto, in the hands of expert winemakers
Not opposed to modern techniques, the Chiapella family prefers to work in respect of ancient traditions without being too influenced by market trends: a demonstration of this is Avignolo’s centuries-old cellar, a place where wines have always been aged, favored for its thick stone walls that maintain a constant temperature in all seasons.
The company’s vineyards are mainly clay-limestone in nature, from which a fine Dolcetto is made.
The Dolcetto grape
The Dolcetto grape variety is perhaps the most typical of the Langhe and the grapes it produces are characterized by low acidity which gives the impression of a hint of sweetness.
From this variety, the Avignolo winery produces Dogliani Superiore DOCG “Utin dle Munie” from the cru of the same name and Dogliani DOCG “Avigneu“.
The other wines
Completing the Avignolo selection are Langhe Barbera DOC, a variety with more acidic berries and a more significant structure, Langhe Nebbiolo DOC, a full-bodied red wine with good structure, and Langhe DOC Bianco, a fruity white.
The latest arrival, added in 2011, is the Rosato wine, a ready-to-drink product to be enjoyed chilled.
