Nizza is worth 14 million euros. It is a DOCG all the way from Asti, small but not too small, which grew by 4% in the year of the pandemic. Harvest after harvest, Nizza DOCG takes off its first year's clothes and climbs up the international wine rankings.
It is the symbol of a country's rediscovered pride. The power of an extraordinary vine that, in these 18 municipalities of southern Asti, is history and tradition; future and innovation. A pride that is clearly perceptible. A win...

"The bet of wine is won in distant markets.
The export model in the world is that of Barolo-Barbaresco. The growth of Italy and Piedmont has been exponential in the U.S.
Northwestern wine is primarily Piedmont. The quality of some products from Liguria and Valle d'Aosta is really high, but the numbers that weigh the most are those of Nebbiolo in all its forms. The past twelve months have been for the world, for wine and even...

Under the regulations, the designation "Roero" - without any other specification - is reserved for red wines made from at least 95% Nebbiolo grapes. Non-aromatic red grapes suitable for cultivation in the Piedmont region may also be used to make Roero, either together or separately, up to a maximum of 5%. It should be noted that Roero Doc...

The elegance of old Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte has the advantage of producing wines with nuanced beauty. And there is a reason why the big boys in the Langhe are buying up wineries in Alto Piemonte. The volcanic soil allows for the creation of some of the most elegant nebbiolos in Italy.
There was a major volcanic explosion here 300 million years ago. This explosion is what made Boca and Alto Piemonte what it is today. The volcanic soil is unique, special and give...

When can an organic wine be defined?
The European Regulation 203/2012, published in the Official Journal of the EU on 9 March 2012, has finally made it possible to regulate the organic wine sector, after several years of controversy.

The Grignolino fan club is expanding. Piedmont is emerging as a magnet for wine lovers who want to discover more than what is already in their climate controlled cupboards or wine cellars, such as classic Barberas and Nebbiolos. These local grapes, such as Grignolino, Vespolina, Verduno Pelaverga and so many others, are, as it were, a trigger for the taste palette of the open-minded wine consumer.
Wine journalists from all over the world are - let's be temporary for Corona times - inv...

What is different compared to traditional winegrowing?
An organic wine is made from grapes that are grown organically. No ...

2021 was a new start on 1st January, but this year was without a New Year's reception, without the traditional New Year's party, without a moment in which the bond between you and your staff or customers is given an extra positive vibe.
No or hardly any client visits...So here too, there is a lack of opportunity to thank them with your presence on the spot for having worked with you in recent times on economic growth. That handshake, that physical contact with so many positive vibes...
