From the Fratelli Novara Winery comes out every year a very limited production of 10,000 bottles.

With its 6 hectares of vineyard, cultivated in the municipality of Cisterna d’Asti, the winery is one of the smallest operations in this territory.

Under the guidance of their father Giuseppe Novara, his sons Antonello and Riccardo have introduced touches of modernity into the production process: the innovative spirit and respect for family tradition represent a constant commitment.

The company philosophy

Presenting to the public a quality product that reflects the sincere and direct spirit of the family, genuineness and the pleasure of talking about wine and offering products to drink every day are the foundation of this winery’s philosophy.

The Wines

From the 6 hectares of vineyard, divided among the rows of Bricco Forno, Fiorito, Sulpiano, Bricco Liberato and La Rabina Vineyards, six labels are produced

There are two white wines in the production: the Bricco Fiorito Terre Alfieri DOCG Arneis: a fruity, fresh and floral wine that goes well with all appetizers, fish dishes and white meats and also excellent as an aperitif and the White Wine Varietal Francesco vinified from Chardonnay grapes with intense, tropical aromas, soft in taste suitable for a good aperitif.

Production is between 10,000 and 13,000 bottles in total.

Work in respect of nature

At the winery the vinification processes of white and red wines are illustrated

Generations have passed since grandfather Antonio delivered the grapes to the Cantina Sociale, keeping a few bottles for family and friends.

The treatments for maintaining the health of the vines are very targeted and limited. The philosophy is simple: respect for nature, for the land and for the environment.

Among the rows of Bricco Forno and Briccoliberato Vineyards it is possible to witness the usual work and understand how soil type, climate, and soil texture characterize the wines of the territory.

The Museum of Arts and Crafts of the Past

The Castle of Cisterna d'Asti dominates the hamlet of San Matteo where the winery is located. Inside are objects of material culture and the history of Piedmont
