Il Vino e le Rose was born from the shared dream of four individuals with different backgrounds but united by their deep passion for wine. In March 2017, this vision became reality under the leadership of Massimiliano, Mirco, and Lorella, with the winery's name inspired by the iconic "bread and roses" slogan from the 1912 Lawrence Textile Strike, symbolizing the pursuit of both sustenance and dignity. Massimiliano, with over a decade of self-production and in-depth study in the intricate world of winemaking, became a driving force in reviving this special project. Today, the winery produces around 25,000 bottles of natural wine annually, combining their collective expertise to create high-quality wines that reflect the essence of the land and their dedication to nature. Located in the heart of Piedmont, amidst the rolling Colli Tortonesi hills, the winery sits in Momperone, at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level. The area is characterized by spectacular views and a unique microclimate, which benefits the vineyards. Though the surrounding landscape boasts natural beauty, the vineyards were neglected for over 12 years before the team took on the challenge of revitalizing them. Their first task was to recover the old vineyards, specifically focusing on the indigenous grape varieties Timorasso and Cortese, known for producing distinctive and expressive wines. With meticulous care and dedication, the team has not only restored the vineyards but also set up a winery with the goal of turning their love for natural and authentic wine into a lasting venture. Part of the estate also includes a striking villa, designed by a 1970s architect, which has been repurposed for wine tastings, events, and hospitality. The villa adds to the unique charm of the property, offering visitors an immersive experience in both wine and culture, surrounded by the beauty of Piedmont. Il Vino e le Rose's philosophy is deeply rooted in the principles of organic agriculture, environmental sustainability, and respect for nature. The winery operates without the use of added sulfites, ensuring the wines are as natural and pure as possible. The vineyards are managed with a focus on reducing treatments to the absolute minimum, maintaining the land’s natural balance. Every harvest is done by hand, typically between September and October, ensuring the grapes are picked at the peak of ripeness for optimal quality. The estate's calcareous clay soils contribute to the complexity and richness of the wines, allowing for exceptional quality production.
