Beppe Marino

The first and historic Moscato d’Asti DOCG produced by Beppe Marino is Muray, a play on words coming from the Piedmontese mu (mulberry) and ray (rare). In times when the cultivation of mulberry trees was widespread close to the vineyards, the choice was made to grow Muscat grapes on these particularly suitable soils.

Muray is a wine that brings with it all the important characteristics of this grape variety: aromaticity, hints of honey, and acacia flowers.

A white wine capable of following the evolution of consumers’ tastes, matching desserts, as well as cocktails, aperitifs, cheeses and sweet-sour, and spicy dishes, such as those of Indian and Asian cuisine.

Organic Moscato d’Asti DOCG Santo Stefano comes from a vineyard left uncontaminated to protect the environment and is particularly suitable with traditional Piedmontese desserts such as chocolate bunet, dry pastries and zabaglione.

Canelli appellation

Its origins are based on the already existing Moscato d’Asti designation, but it is more closely linked to the Canelli territory from which it originates.

It is called Chapter One because it is from here that the the history of the company.

Memories of that dry sound of the grape breaking between the teeth, stolen from the bunch ready for the harvest. Of the smell of sugar filling the nose and the density of the juice that embraces the tongue.

Whether it is a memory or a new emotion, Canelli Muscat
gives the same sensation of biting into a juicy ripe bunch

Enriching the range of whites are Alta Langa DOCG Brut Metodo Classico Due Bollicine and two still wines, Piemonte DOC Chardonnay and Vino Bianco Parej, as it is known in the Piedmontese dialect.

The latter represents a leap into the past, when Moscato was drunk dry and is excellent with white meats, shellfish or desserts.

The two types of Barbera d’Asti

A special mention is due to the Barbera d’Asti DOCG in its two versions.

The Barbera d’Asti DOCG Pietre, once called Vigna delle Pietre due to the presence of marine fossils, goes well with any simply prepared dish, does not age in wood and is enjoyed pleasantly young.

The Barbera d’Asti DOCG Superiore Momparone, made from grapes harvested in the vineyards of Vinchio and Vaglio, is aged in steel tanks and perfected in barriques. It then rests in the bottle for one year.

A noble, full-bodied and well-structured wine to be enjoyed with important dishes: meat, game, mushrooms and autumn dishes.

Nizza DOCG Riserva Quattrofilari

Maurizio’s desire to bring something new to the company took concrete form with the production of Nizza DOCG Riserva Quattrofilari, vinified with grapes picked from the four northernmost and best exposed rows of the Momparone vineyard.

The yield per hectare is rather limited, but of high quality with about 4,000 to 5,000 bottles produced annually; an important wine, for meditation or to accompany traditional Piedmontese meat dishes.

Passito wines

Piemonte DOC Barbera Passito represents the desire to reinterpret Barbera according to an ancient tradition handed down in the Langhe and Monferrato  and it goes equally well with meat-based main courses and cheeses.

Piemonte DOC Moscato Passito Albarosa bears the name of Rosalba, Beppe’s wife, to whom it is dedicated. It is made from Moscato grapes selected by her and dried on rows sheltered from the weather.
