Ca 'd Tantin

The small family-run farm is located in the hills of the municipality of Calosso, in a valley that the family already inhabited in the 1800s, an area declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014.

All Ca ‘d Tantin wines have been certified organic for over 20 years: both in the vineyard and in the cellar, the use of chemicals that would inevitably end up in the wine is strictly excluded.

Wine is consumed first and foremost by those who produce it, which is why it must be good and healthy, preferring quality over quantity.

This was already the thinking of grandfather Gioele, born in 1905, a man with an open and modern mentality, a forerunner of the ideals developed by his son Costantino and grandsons Andrea and Marco Venturino, his successors and today the owners of Ca ‘d Tantin.

Ca ‘d Tantin welcomes groups of up to 12 people. Larger groups are requested to contact the company in advance.

Guests are greeted in the inner courtyard and, guided by Marco, reach the panoramic terrace in the vineyard, a place to relax where tastings are held in fine weather.

Introducing the company’s history, production philosophy and territory, we reach the winery, a historic building renovated in keeping with the Langa tradition.

Then takes place the evocative visit to the winemaking rooms, formerly home to the great-grandfather’s cellar, characterized by stone walls, exposed vaults and the classic crötin, or a small cave or niche dug into the tuff and used as a pantry by the farmers of Langa and Monferrato.

Here one can admire the steel tanks, the large barrels for aging red wines, the truncated conical vat for wood fermentation, and the small French oak barriques where the Barbera destined to obtain the Superiore designation ages.

The old, heavy wooden wine press, the well where water was once drawn, and a hundred or so bottles of wine produced by Grandpa Gioele, covered in the dust of decades, make a fine display.
