With 185+ acres of estate, these vines receive excellent airing, ideal sun exposure and limited production per plant, lasting on average 25 years in accordance with Piedmont winemaking traditions.
The vineyards are divided between the municipality of Asti, where the Barbera, Grignolino, Dolcetto, Brachetto and Cascina Briccone varieties grow and the municipality of Costigliole d’Asti, which is mainly dedicated to Moscato d’Asti.
The adopted training method is the Guyot espalier, which has proven to be able to adapt better to the characteristics of Piedmont native vines, with a growing density of 4,000/5,000 plants per hectare.
