Tenuta il Nespolo

Located in the picturesque town of Moasca, nestled between the famed wine regions of Langa Astigiana and Monferrato, Tenuta il Nespolo is a family-run winery where tradition meets passion. Founded by Luca Amerio, a winemaker with deep roots in the region, the estate is not just a winery but also his home and a testament to his journey in viticulture. After completing his studies at the renowned School of Enology in Alba and gaining valuable experience working as an agronomist, Luca returned to his family’s vineyards to pursue his own dream of crafting authentic Monferrato wines.

Surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, Tenuta il Nespolo offers travelers a glimpse into the heart of Piedmont’s wine country. The winery’s unique combination of tradition and innovation makes it a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking an authentic Italian experience. Whether you're walking through the vineyards, learning about sustainable winemaking, or tasting the artisanal wines in a warm, inviting atmosphere, Tenuta il Nespolo promises a memorable and intimate journey into the world of Monferrato wine.

At Tenuta il Nespolo, winemaking is a craft that starts in the vineyard, with a philosophy rooted in respect for the land and the grapes. Specializing in traditional Monferrato varieties, the winery produces small-batch, artisanal wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the region. With a focus on minimal intervention, Luca Amerio believes that 90% of the work happens in the vineyard, allowing the wines to express the true essence of the terroir.

In the cellar, Luca practices what he calls "conservative technology," which means using natural fermentation and long maceration to preserve the purity of the grapes. Both red and white wines undergo extended aging on fine lees, with vinification done in steel and concrete tanks, and aging in third-passage barriques to maintain a delicate balance. The result is a range of wines that are vibrant, elegant, and full of character, each telling a story of the land and the passion behind it.

Tenuta il Nespolo’s wines are a celebration of Monferrato’s rich viticultural heritage, offering wine lovers a true taste of Piedmont. Whether it's a crisp white or a bold red, every bottle captures the harmony between tradition, nature, and the winemaker's vision.
