The Franco Francesco winery is located in the Terre Alfieri between the hills of Monferrato, Langhe and Roero in a hamlet of the town of San Damiano d’Asti, Valmolina.
The farm, founded in 1933 by Francesco Franco, was then mixed in character as many of the realities of the time, and included in addition to viticulture also arable and livestock.
In 1980 the Franco family decided to exclude breeding, but it is from 2007 that Maurizio and Francesco, current owners, focus on wine production renewing the winery and expanding the vineyards.
Today the company has 18 hectares of vineyards, distributed between Alba and Asti, and produces 13 labels of reds, whites and spumante.
Franco Francesco Vini sees wine as a moment of relaxation and joy, and focuses on producing it according to the philosophy of good, clean and fair: good relative to the sense of pleasure given by the wine and the feelings and memories it evokes; clean, or produced in respect of the ecosystems and the environment; fair, because it conforms to the concepts of social justice.
The Wines
On top of the local "classic" varieties they produce Chardonnay, Pinot, Malvasia and Moscato d’Asti
The choice of producing different varieties should be linked to the study and the passion of the two producers for the characteristics of the individual vines: each of them is grown and vinified in such a way as to preserve its aromas and properties.
Some are aged in oak barrels, usually the aging reds, while young whites and reds age in stainless steel barrels that maintain their freshness and fragrance.
Franco Francesco’s wines reflect the desire to keep alive the “peasant and genuine“ tradition of wine, handed down from generation to generation, without, however, renouncing to the most recent technologies capable of increasing quality and productivity.
Since 2009 two labels have been added: the Barbera Trej Amis and the Arneis Trej Amis.
This brand, represented by three stylized men holding hands, is in honor of Papà Vincenzo and his sons Francesco and Maurizio: men with strong territoriality and a shared love for viticulture.
