Langhe, Asti, Monferrato:

Tenuta La Tenaglia Srl
@evelyn
You might not expect it but this is the oldest running winery in Piedmont! Open since the 1400s it has changed hands a number of times, today owned by a German family. However what is really unique about them is they are also the only winery doing Aged Grignolino. Grignolino is a wine typically drunk young, but when they found records that the Savoy family referred to aged versions in the cellar, they decided to experiment. The result is delicious. Head there to try it for yourself.

Monforte d'Alba
@evelyn
If you’re wandering through the Langhe you can’t miss a stop through Monforte d’Alba. And adorable wine country town that while it has a historic essence, tends to always be alive with clinking glasses and the latest contemporary art instalments. Definitely plan a stop!
Add to

Cascina Gilli
@evelyn
Winery in Monferrato who highlights the excellence of Freisa and A local Malvasia. This winery is family run and managed, and a real local favourite. You can stop by for a tasting or glass, they are open all weekend. No need to reserve, they have a very open and welcoming staff!
Add to

Vietti Azienda Agricola / Winery
@evelyn
Vietti is one of my all time favorite wine producers and they offer a great tasting experience. Today they lean on the commercial side, being more widely available, and technically owned by a foreign company. They are however still managed by the family on site and every one of their wines is worth a try. They are one of the producers who was responsible for bringing back Arneis! But if you are a red wine lover their Nebbiolo PerBacco never disappoints! Book online at link below
