Born in 1975, Cascina Sòt is a farm in Monforte d’Alba, that was purchased by Maria and Giuseppe after they have worked for years in the property as sharecroppers. However, with the advent of the son Leonardo and his wife Silvana, the wine business has become the only corporate commitment. The company currently cultivates its own vineyards, some of which are located among the most prestigious cru of Barolo wine area. In 2014 Maurizio, son of Leonardo, after finishing his studies at the Wine School of Alba and experienced in other wineries in the area, is directly involved in the vinification and subsequent sale.We are waiting for you! Come to try our wines!

Maurizio seemed to love his work as a wine maker and together with his dad,sister and mom they have developed a specialized. boutique winery where most of the wine making process is passionately done by hand by the family members. A lovely visit to the vineyards with interesting explanations in the cellar to be followed by wine tasting - wine pretty good too. Highly recommended

One is welcomed more like a friend than a customer by this winemaker and his family. Enjoy a leisurely, informative tasting before selecting the wines you want to buy. Throughout the range they are all good value. One of the reasons I like to visit Italy in my own car each year is to be able to take several cases of Mauro Sebaste's lovely wine back to England with me. It never disappoints.

Beautiful cellar located in the hills of La Morra, in the heart of Langhe: five hundred meters above sea level, with the view sweeping over the plains of Cuneo as far as the beautiful landscape of the Alps, from the Maritimes to the Monte Rosa. Famous for the production of BAROLO, but also Barbera and Nebbiolo.

Dosio hits all the right notes, and has something for everybody. The wine tasting was varied and impressive - there are many more reds than whites, and one of our party truly favored their rose as well! I couldn't leave without ordering a few cases of their recommended reserve back home! If natural scenery is what you're after, the 12 continuous acres are set on a gently sloped hill, where you can see row after row of the grape vines. We were fortunate enough to stay from morning through the afternoon, and saw the changes in scenery from mysterious and foggy in the morning, to hopeful as the clouds cleared up, to completely majestic as the sun broke through and cleared the clouds. It is amazing to see the snow-capped Alps in the distance. The hosts answered all questions and shared about the vineyard, and the owners were very gracious. A must-see destination if your itinerary takes you anywhere near the Piedmont area!

Pierfranco and his family are so welcoming and friendly! His wife and son Gabriel explaned a lot about their vinyard and the different types of wine, which we could taste too. Not a question was too much, after a whole afternoon of asking and tasting wine, Gabriel even took us to see their beautiful vinyard. Of course we bought some bottles to share with our friends and family in Belgium!
5. Montaribaldi

Tradition and innovation. This is the oxymoron on which the Montaribaldi company grounds its great success. Founded in 1968 in the very heart of Barbaresco by Giuseppe Talliano and his wife, it was then taken over in 1994 by their sons Luciano and Roberto. Now the whole family is running it, brewing with passion the best quality wines while always respecting the oldest traditions.As matter of fact, in the last few years, the company has decided to bet on innovation without changing its best traditions. It is exactly that which makes the company able to continuously improve the quality of their wines, while always promoting their land. Such careful management, along with the favorable climate conditions, the richness of its soil, the implementation of new biodynamic techniques, the accurate selection of wines and the careful vinification let Montaribaldi obtain a wide range of excellent, unique wines which are appreciated all over the world and which have become a clear example of the “glocal” philosophy.

This family winery is set in a beautiful location. Silvia gave us such a warm and friendly welcome. We tried 4 of their red wines and the pours were very generous. Silvia also provided cheese, salami, bread sticks and an assortment of cookies that went perfectly with the Barolo! The Barolo was our favorite and they have older vintages available for purchase so you can enjoy them now! We also got a beautiful wooden case to add to our collection! Silvia makes hazelnut meringue style cookies that were really delicious and they’re available for purchase as well as her homemade jam. We met Francesco as he was passing through the room and he stopped to welcome us and shake our hand. A wonderful winery and really great staff!

Fontechiara is a small winery located in the Northeast area of Piedmont. We produce high quality red wines, that are faithful expression of the territory as they are made with native local grapes such as the famous Nebbiolo and the ancient Vespolina. We receive tourists for tours and wine tasting together with homemade delicacies, local charcuterie and cheeses especially selected to bring out the best flavors and characteristics of each wine.

My husband and I visited Cantina Fontechiara on our last day in Italy and it was the winery we were searching for the entire time we were there. It was hard to choose our favorite because each wine was amazing and had its own unique personality. Really the “best” wine would depend on the event, the weather, or your mood. La Nonna would be great on a hot sunny day. The Vespolina would be great with pizza. Il Nonno would be great with a steak. But what really made the visit so enjoyable was Valentina. She told us about the wines, the owners, the history of the winery, and some about herself. Instead of feeling like you were at a commercial winery, it felt like we were spending the afternoon with a good friend and chatting over great wine. One of our best memories and experiences from our trip.

We are young winemakers with ancient vineyards... The great passion of Roberto for the cultivation of wineyards, and Alessandro for the production of wine have allowed the birth of this small cellar. From the top of the hill of Altavilla you can taste our wines and enjoy the marvellous view of the Langhe. Visits and winetastings are held only by appointment. See you soon!
