TERRITORY OF ORIGIN

TERROR

The area is Monferrato, one of the most important wine regions in the world, a UNESCO heritage site. Among these suggestive hills Barbera is produced, a truly extraordinary, versatile and fresh vine. In Monferrato the vineyards almost entirely cover the tops and slopes of the hills, alternating with small woods, in highly evocative landscapes. The wide diversity of the soils allows us to produce very complex wines, with a broad bouquet. The lands are calcareous-marly , white, light gray or beige in colour, rich in calcium carbonate : this allows the production of full-bodied wines, rich in color (in reds), sometimes with a hint of tuff , for ageing ; the red soils, on the other hand, are deeper and richer not only in clay and silt, but also in iron and magnesium oxides, and are excellent for producing white wines. The sands of Asti produce excellent red wines characterized by low acidity and fast maturation. Finally, on these soils, in very dry years the vine can suffer problems of water stress, since the higher percentage of sand does not allow the soil to retain water.


CELLAR

The first traces of vine cultivation at Castello di Uviglie date back to 1491. Strengthened by this historical tradition, the company is a dynamic production reality that has concentrated its efforts on safeguarding the traditional vines of the area such as Grignolino, Freisa and Barbera.

There are 25 hectares of owned vineyards cultivated by Simone Lupano in his dynamic production reality.


The cellar has a collection capacity of 3,500 hectoliters and is equipped with the most modern technologies while using traditional winemaking methods, in total respect of the typical nature of the territory.

Production is around 90,000 bottles per year.
