About Winery and Wines

The Winery Estate of Castello di Tassarolo is situated in the comune of Tassarolo in the heart of the Gavi, in Piedmont and consists of 20 Hectars of vineyards that circomnavigate the winery. The variety of vines cultivated on the estate are "Cortese di Gavi", Barbera and some Cabernet Sauvignon. The cultivation of the vineyards is the biodynamic agricultural method that gaurantees the maximum respect for nature and the environment. The practice of biodynamic principles in agriculture were first developed on the estate of the Count and Countess of Keyserlink by an introductory course held by Rudolf Steiner in 1924, following a request by the local farmers with regards to the deteriorization of product quality and the developing corrosion of the soil, desertification. Within the course were seminated many of the principles that guide the biodynamic farmer of today, with regards to the "forces of life" and the fertility of the soil, the importance of livestock and deeper insights into the forces and dynamics that nature reveals to the developed and discerining eye. In 2006 the estate began developing biodynamic methods of viticulture which in practice is based on the development of humus and the health of the vines, by the use of green manure, compost (made at home), and the use of preparations such as the dynamization of cows manure and silica.

The wines are very stylish, very likable to the nose and to the taste. They are checked by accurate and constant analysis and controlled every week by the enologist: they do not have any organoleptic defects. They are present in the most important wine guides with very high scores, they have received many awards and a lot of press all over the world. The wines are certified organic by Bios - An European certification -and come from biodynamic agriculture. The certification is on the back label to whom it may be of interest. They are commercialized by distributors of conventional wines and also by specialized outlets only in organic and biodynamic wines.
