A story that
begins in 1234
in Santa Vittoria d’Alba
An ancient farmhouse, but even before that a valley, which echoes in the history of Santa Vittoria d'Alba
The name "Val di Spinso" has always accompanied the history of Santa Vittoria d'Alba, with origins that date back even to Roman times, as can be deduced from artifacts found in the last century.
It is understandable how that plot of land was already enticing at the time: protected by a natural amphitheater of hills, near a spring and alongside the ancient road that connected Asti and Pollenzo, it was in an enviable position to put down roots.
The first written document dates back to 1234 and refers to the sale of an "arable land" in the "Valle de Spins", land that passed from hand to hand among the great families of the area in the years to come.
The transition to residential land came in 1570, when Giovanni Francesco Romagnano had a farmhouse built there, which in 1589 his brother Giovanni Lodovico sold to notary Pietro Paruzza of Montaldo for a thousand scudi.
Starting in 1838, Valdispinso became royal property in the hands of King Carlo Alberto of Savoy, together with the castle of Santa Vittoria d'Alba.
It is precisely to this illustrious owner that we owe the renovation of the farmhouse, which took place in 1849, with which the wine-making direction of the estate also began, perpetuated until it became one of the leading agricultural realities of Langhe and Roero.

Wines
The Valdispinso farm completes its offer with 5 labels representative of the best wines of Roero
In 7 hectares of vineyard, the typical wines of these hills are produced, respecting the land and the wine-making tradition of Roero.
Guests interested in deepening their knowledge of Langhe food and wine culture are allowed, upon reservation, to take tours in the historic cellars and taste wines produced by the company accompanied by local cheeses and cured meats.
The reds
The red wines of the cellar are 3: Barbera d’Alba DOC, Segreto and Spirito Rosso.
Barbera, with its intense and purplish color, spends a period of 8 months maturing in barrels and an additional 4 months refining in bottles; the result is a broad aroma and a warm, harmonious and generous palate.
Segreto derives from the selection of the best Barbera vineyards. This process makes it stand out for the breadth of its aroma, with notes of plum, blackberry and spices.
Spirito Rosso is a pure Nebbiolo wine, harmonious, elegant and decidedly dry. It is an ideal pairing for truffles, game and cheeses.
The rosé and the white
The production is completed by a rosé wine made from Nebbiolo grapes, Rosa Vittoria, and a Roero Arneis DOCG.
Both to be served chilled from the fridge, they are ideal for aperitifs or to pair with fish dinners.
Moscato d'Asti DOCG Santa Vittoria d'Alba sub-area
In 2016 the mayor proposes an initiative to further promote this wine: all the bottlers use the same label, as a symbol of this "treasure".
Each room or apartment is rented with a complimentary bottle of wine, of own production
Unique label used by all Santa Vittoria bottlers in 2016, to highlight this variety
The Agriturismo is located just 800 meters from the imposing castle of Santa Vittoria d’Alba, which stands out in the center of the town
