Cascina Giambolino
(Winery in Hills of Tortona)

Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €20.00
Cascina Giambolino is a family-run winery that embodies the traditions and values passed down through generations. Located in Villaromagnano (AL), in the heart of the Colli Tortonesi, the estate has been dedicated to agriculture and winemaking for decades. The land has been cultivated by the family for over 70 years, with the oldest vineyards once belonging to Lele’s grandfather, a vine grower who initially sold his grapes to the local wine cooperative. The modern journey of Cascina Giambolino began in 1991 with the foundation of Azienda Agricola Nicoletta Calandra, named after Lele’s mother, who was the first to transform the farm’s grape harvest into wines for internal vinification and bottling. While the production of meats and cured meats took precedence for some years, a renaissance in winemaking arrived in 2019 with the official birth of the Cascina Giambolino brand. This transformation was solidified in 2021, when Lele took over from his mother, initiating a complete renewal of the winery—revamping the cellar, rebranding the labels, and crafting a fresh commercial identity. Today, Cascina Giambolino is a symbol of sustainable agriculture and artisanal production, offering a zero-kilometer farm-to-table experience that celebrates both wine and local gastronomy.

(Winery in Hills of Tortona)

5 (1 Review)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €20.00
Cantine Colonna Winery was established in 1969 with only two hectares of land which have been gradually enlarged up to the current thirty, which include vineyards, orchards, and, to a lesser extent, arable land. The soils, clayey and mainly exposed to the south, allow us to obtain excellent red and white wines, both DOC and non-DOC. Since 2018, moreover, the company has dedicated part of its fruit to the production of extra jams and fruit in syrup. Cantine Colonna, a family business, has always aimed at the valorization of the surrounding territory, committing itself to respect biodiversity and adopting a management system.

Il vino e le Rose
(Winery in Hills of Tortona)

Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €30.00
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.
