About Winery and Wines

THE WINERY Garrone Evasio & figlio winery is a family-owned enterprise, run today by Marco and Dante Garrone, with a hand from Cinzia, Marco’s wife. The real heritage of Garrone family are fourteen hectares of vineyard, leaning on the sweet hills of Monferrato Astigiano, in the villages of Grana, Montemagno and Castagnole Monferrato. We run the vineyards in a way that guarantees the lowest possible impact on the environment, paying a particular attention to the conditions of the soil. The majority of the vineyard dates from the years between 1980 and 1995, with some newer vineyards planted in the early noughties. The harvest is strictly manual, so we can control the quality of the grapes from the beginning of the vinification process. A process that starts with an addition of selected yeasts and a steeping of different length depending on the type of wine: at the end of the process, the wines are kept in steel or wood for varying amounts of time, then they can be prepared for bottling. We use an ancient cellar, built by Evasio Garrone around 1920, for ageing the wines, with twenty oak barrels, ranging from a capacity of 2000 litres to 5000: the oldest one is 130 years old. For the preparation and the bottling we use a cellar built around 1975, less “romantic”, but more suitable for working with wine. We also have a customer reception room, used for wine tasting and sale: it has enough room for groups of 50 customers. HISTORY In the early twenties of 20th century, Evasio Garrone entered the wine business buying wine from the farmers and selling it to the final customer, mainly in the Turin area. After Second World War, in a war-torn Italy, with railroads destroyed by the bombings, Evasio started to sell wine in Lombardy with his bicycle: he brought the samples, collect the orders, and the wine was then delivered, when possible by truck, if not with a horse-drawn cart. We can tell thousand of tales about these “heroic” and almost legendary years… Quality
