About Winery and Wines

We are in Moasca, exactly halfway between the Langa Astigiana and Monferrato. I am Luca Amerio, winemaker and owner of the winery, and Tenuta il Nespolo is my home and my office.
After finishing my studies at the School of Enology in Alba, I immediately started trauajé, without really having clear ideas of which path I would take.
After a brief experience in an oenological analysis laboratory, I decided to enroll in the graduate course in Viticulture and Enology in Turin.
Between exam sessions and pruning sessions at home, I started working as an agronomist in a historic winery in Monferrato. And then?
Well, I never got my contract renewed again and took over the vineyards and winery at home to start writing my own story with the desire to put myself out there and prove that these hills still have a lot to offer...surprises included!

Tenuta il Nespolo is a small winery that produces artisanal and territorial wines from typical Monferrato grapes.
Few dogmas and fixed schemes, we make wine using knowledge in the vineyard and cellar, without overdoing anywhere.

90% is done in the vineyard, for the rest we work to not ruin what the vineyard has given us.

In the cellar we just listen to what the wine tells us using what I like to call ‘conservative technology’: we use only natural fermentation of grapes in the cellar, we do long maceration and aging on fine lees for both whites and reds using steel and concrete tanks for winemaking and third-passage barriques for the aging.
