in 2024. our estate vineyard was officially
certified organic, a recognition of nearly a
century of stewardship by the Ariotti Family in
the Heart of Monferrato, Piedmont.
Certified organic in 2024, the estate is farmed
using traditional techniques, cover crops,
compost, and polyculture plantings that sustain
biodiversity and balance. Soils of marine fossils,
limestone, sand, and clay give the 100% Barbera
wines depth, structure, and vibrant minerality.
Naturally fermented with wild yeasts and aged
partly in neutral botti and concrete, the wine
shows bright raspberries, dried strawberries,
and crunchy black pepper, with medium-bodied,
integrated tannins. Minimal sulfites, vegan and
gluten-free, the wine is clean, expressive, and
perfect slightly chilled—especially in its generous
liter format for sharing.
Monferrato is the birthplace of Barbera,
where rolling hillside vineyards are
dedicated to this indigenous variety.
Unlike the Langhe, where Nebbiolo reigns
supreme, Monferrato reserves its finest
vineyard sites for Barbera. The region’s
perfect combination of elevation, marine
origin clay, sand, and limestone creates
the ideal home for the grape
