Monferrato The Wines of

HALFWAY BETWEEN THE GLACIAL ALPS AND THE WARMTH OF THE MEDITERRANEAN, IN THE HEART OF ITALY’S PIEDMONT REGION, IS A LANDSCAPE DEVOTED TO WINE: THE MONFERRATO HILLS.

HERE, 2,000 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE have taught the wine growers to identify unique local grape varieties, and to work out precisely which vineyards suit them best. The sandy soils of the steeper slopes bring out the perfumed aromatics in one variety, perfect for fresh, young wines. Another grape loves the calcareous marl of the foothills giving deep, rich reds that age well in the cellar. Nothing here is generic! And the exceptional harmony between people and place has not gone unnoticed: these winelands have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site
