Located in the municipality of Serravalle Scrivia, where the GAVI DOCGG wine consortium produces the greatest among Piedmont wines, the estate “La Bollina” extends over 120 hectares in the gentle hills of the High Monferrato region. Apart from its wineries, whose cultivation and production area stretches over 33 hectares of vineyards, the estate also features three accommodation and leisure facilities of great charm, “Villa La Bollina”, “Serravalle Golf Hotel”, and the “Serravalle Golf Club”. Thanks to its deeply rooted traditions, its strong rural background and its unique features which can only be found in areas nestled between the mountains and the sea, this land has exerted a considerable charm over the centuries. Once a summer residence of the Marquises Figari of Genova, these rolling hills planted with cortese, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, barbera and nebbiolo serve today as production sites for our top-class wines.

We're a small organic winery, located in Piedmont, with five hectars of vineyards. Our family business is all about local grapes (manly dolcetto, barbera, moscato) which we proudly work into traditional DOCG / DOC of our terroir

We are a family winery: we have produced wine for three generations under our brand, and our winemaking roots reach back much further. Our winery is located in a zone that is particularly well suited to wine production in the hills of Alto Monferrato, Piedmont. In the continuous research of technological and productive improvement, we recently built a new production center. Here, only occasionally do we hire external collaborators for auxiliary duties, while activity directly connected with wine production and commercialization are managed directly by family members. In this way, we maintain a high level of quality and responsibility that would otherwise be difficult to achieve. Our wines are most often appreciated in the high quality food and beverage industry and wine shops in north-central Italy. In addition, thanks to our participation at important events like Vinitaly, we have been exporting for several years to the U.S.A., Germany, Austria, Ireland, England, and Japan. The grapes we use in our winemaking come from estate vineyards as well as selected vineyards of vinegrowers from the same zones of production that we have used for decades.

Tenuta San Pietro is a historical winery of the DOCG Gavi area located in Tassarolo, on the Piedmont hills 300 meters above sea level, near Alessandria. Its vines enjoy the winds coming from the nearby Ligurian Sea and, thanks to an excellent solar exposure and a favourable microclimate, its tuffaceous and clayey grounds produce exclusive grapes and high quality wines. The passion for research is the hallmark of the Company, constantly committed in a careful recovery of biodiversity, and in the preservation of its historic vineyards survived to the terrible epidemic of phylloxera, one of the major disasters in the history of agriculture. It was a deadly parasite that fed on the roots of the vines and that, once attacked a vineyard, destroyed it completely. Phylloxera, coming from America, struck with violence towards the end of the nineteenth century in Europe. The vines on own roots are the last witnesses of a past era, such as the Gorrina vineyard, the evidence of the uniqueness of this heritage. All the vineyards of Tenuta San Pietro are cultivated according to the criteria of the Biodynamic Agriculture, based on the antroposophy of Rudolf Steiner.

In our marvellous hills not far from Turin, where the grapevines bring their best fruits, are cultivated, accordingly to the tradition, the typical local varieties: dark-skinned grapes like Barbera and Croatina and white grapes like Timorasso and Cortese. A mix of traditional yet innovative and attentive cultivation, together with the most advanced techniques of vinification, allow the high quality local grapes to pass a fine selection and express at their best the characteristics of the territory. All in absolute respect for the surrounding environment. The winery itself extends over an area of 15 hectares in the hills of the Costa Vescovato district and is divided in 9 hectares of dark-skinned grapes cultivation and 6 of white. The 9 hectares used for dark-skinned grapes are dedicated to Barbera, Croatina and Bonarda cultivation where the soil is composed of 70% clay-limestone and 30% marly-limestone. The wines produced from these grapes are named Boccanera, Cassasa, Poggio delle Amarene and Vignalunga. The 6 hectares are used for cultivating the white grapes of Timorasso e Cortese and Moscato. The soil here, best for these type of grapevines, is composed of 80% marly-limestone and 20% clay-limestone

Among the hills of Alto Monferrato, in an extraordinary wine-growing landscape between the provinces of Alessandria and Asti, stands the town of Alice Bel Colle. It is here that the members of the Alice Bel Colle winery have been writing their history together since 1955. The vineyards of the 150 members of the alice bel colle winery cover a productive area of 370 hectares. Annual production is approximately 3,800 tons, of which 1,600 tons are Moscato d’Asti DOCG, 300 tons are Brachetto d’Acqui DOCG, 500 tons are doc red grapes (Dolcetto d’Acqui and Barbera d’Asti) and 300 tons are doc white grapes (Cortese Alto Monferrato Piedmont and Chardonnay). In recent years, the Alice Bel Colle winery has intensified its quality policy through a careful selection of grapes and a reduction in its yield per hectare, to achieve the best productive balance together with the winegrowers. The quality of the grapes from the alice bel colle winery is appreciated and recognised by some of the leading names in the italian sparkling wine industry. The Alice Bel Colle winery seeks to establish increasingly direct contact with its end consumers. for this purpose, the winery store offers a selection of DOC and DOCG wines: the aromatic Brachetto and moscato, the traditional Barbera and Dolcetto reds, the cool and pleasant Cortese and Piemonte Chardonnay, and the Sparkling Asti and Chardonnay Brut.

The Cascina Bertolotto owes its origins to Giuseppe Traversa's foresight, who at the end of the 19th century planted the first vineyards on these hills, being encouraged by his uncle Francesco, the parish priest in the nearby village of Serole, who suggested he produce Mass wine. The passion for vine-growing has been passed on through the family generations to Virginio and Cavalier Giuseppe and their sons. Today, as in the past, a carefully balanced mixture of innovation and tradition helps to create a selection of wines produced with utmost care for genuineness, which are characterized by unique flavours and aromas. The Cascina Bertolotto is located in Piedmont, in Spigno Monferrato, at an altitude of 400 metres, among lands of ancient wine-making traditions: the Asti Langa, the Cuneo Langa and the Monferrato whose border is marked by a mile stone just a few kilometres from the estate cellars. A short distance from the vineyards stand the initial spurs of the Ligurian Appennine whose sandstone sediments enrich the soil with a mixture of nutritional elements which in turn make the end product most special. The environment of the estate also benefits from salubrious sea breezes which, whilst protecting the vegetation, favour optimal ripening of the grapes and make late harvest possible.

The origins of this beautiful winery located in the territory of Rovereto di Gavi (AL), on the Piedmontese foothills of the Apennines are very old, GIUSTINIANA boasts a history that takes it back in time to the year one thousand when the Benedictines who had founded a grange (farm) started the cultivation of the vine. As early as 900 AD in the annals of the Republic of Genoa there is mention of a Benedictine settlement on the hills overlooking the river Lemme. The "Grangia Bassiniana" is mentioned in a document dated 1250 as an agricultural farm of the Abbey of Rivalta Scrivia which produced wheat, but above all wine. Of this settlement remain the watchtower and defense, the chapel and several rooms with vaults and capitals. At the beginning of 1600 the property passed to the Giustiniani family, a member of which, commander of the Genoese militia, victoriously defended the Fort of Gavi, at that time an important strategic commercial and military junction, from one of the many French sieges. It was the Giustiniani family who built the villa in neoclassical style that still dominates the access to the estate, which took the name of Giustiniana. The beauty of the place, from landscape to nature, the vocation of the land to produce wonderful wines, made the most important Genoese families: Doria, Spinola, Cambiaso, over the years disputed the ownership of Giustiniana over the centuries.

Franco Ivaldi belongs to a family traditionally devoted to viticulture. He spent his childhood in his family's farmstead and vineyards where his passion for the world of wine began. His first steps in this world were made as a sommelier and taster while later he joined the world of the vinification. In 1995 he decided to inaugurate a new winery with the assistance of his wife Caterina, his daughter Elena, and his son Giorgio who now is an enologist. Franco Ivaldi's vine-growing and wine business is located in Caranzano Cassine (AL) in the Alto Monferrato, a few kilometers away form Acqui Terme -a territory traditionally devoted to viticulture and where numerous designations of origin have their foundations. The philosophy of the winery is reflected in a viticulture based on controlled harvests. In order to produce wines with perceptible typical characteristics the winemaking processes are conducted in such a way that maximises the peculiarities of the different grapes and of the different vineyards. The result of this, is a wine that reflects the uniqueness of the Monferrato, a territory proclaimed world heritage site by UNESCO and which can boast a unique territory with a wide variety of grapes. All the goals described above ground on accurate technological and winemaking choices which range from the separation of the different batches to the limited and rational use of wood containers for the aging of red wines. Since the setting up of this new business, Albarossa, a new vine with great prospects has been growing alongside the most traditional varieties like Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Moscato and Cortese. Albarossa is a crossbreed between Nebbiolo of Dronero and Barbera, which was made in 1938 by Professor G. Dalmasso and experimented in the early years of the new millenium by the Tenuta Cannona (vine-growing and wine experimental centre of the Piedmont Region).
