Appuntamenti

La Cantina

The Avignolo Farm, founded in 1998 by Giuseppe Chiapella, is right on the border between Dogliani and Monforte, surrounded by land suitable for viticulture.

The combination of climatic and environmental factors makes the grapes of these lands particularly rich in aromas and flavors, an element that the family manages to translate into the wines produced thanks to meticulous care of the vineyards.

The vineyards are supervised by Giuseppe and his son Mirko, who personally take care of checking and thinning the bunches with skill to obtain a selected and valuable production.

In addition to the vineyard, in the colder areas where the quality of the wines would not have been optimal, the Avignolo company has decided to include hazelnut plants.

Visits & Tastings

Visit a traditional reality of the Langhe, which does not follow market trends, but preserves traditional methods

The visit to the Avignolo Farm is an interesting study of how the vineyard and the hazelnut grove manage to fit together perfectly.

During the tour they'll explain the timing of both sectors of work, with an introduction to the terroir and the characteristics it gives to wine, and the possibility of a walk among the hazelnut trees.

You will take a tour of the cellar, where you can follow the wine production process and find answers to any curiosity, after which you will be taken to the tasting room for a tasting.

Here you can choose between two different types of tasting:

Minimum: tasting of 3 wines with a small tasting of typical local products → € 5.00 per person
Complete: tasting of all the wines produced paired with cold cuts, cheeses, a first course and a dessert → € 18.00 per person
