About Winery and Wines

The Vellano family has been dealing with wine for at least four generations: from a document found in the municipal archives it appears that the great-grandfather Maurizio was already a wine broker back to 1867. Since then, from father to son, the love for wine and the land that produces it has been handed down, together with the production technique. Currently the company is managed by Maurizio Vellano, who has firmly wanted to continue this tradition, even in difficult times. Now that quality has become an essential element in an increasingly global market, Pierino Vellano continues his lifelong commitment with even more dedication and stubbornness, focusing on an offer that, in addition to the classic wines that are part of the local tradition, aims at satisfying the new requests of an increasingly demanding public. The winery has recently been modernized and is currently equipped for a production of 25,000 bottles, which are mainly distributed in Northern Italy and in some foreign countries.

The Barbera vineyard stands on the soft slopes overlooking the basin of Castel San Pietro. Planted in 2008 in the same place where the ancient family vineyards once stood, it takes advantage of the unique characteristics of the place to give quality grapes. At the top of the vineyard there are some centuries-old oaks, under which two large wooden tables with their benches are placed. The place is located in a panoramic position on the basin of vineyards below, on the village of Castel San Pietro and on the valley. During the summer it lends itself very well to guided tastings and snacks based on cold cuts and cheeses from Monferrato, under the cool shade of the big trees. The Grignolino vineyard is located in the most suitable area for this noble Monferrato grape: Vignale Monferrato ..
