We have two types of cellar:
There is great grandfather’s original cellar located under our farmhouse. The walls are stone and brick with vaulted arches and the classic “crotin” (vaulted alcoves dug out of the tufo) for storing wines which are characteristic of the old cellars of Monferrato and Langhe. Here you’ll find the barrels for ageing Barbera, which after several months will be denominated Barbera d’Asti Superiore, and which will give the wine its classic woody taste.
There is also the old grape press and a hundred or so bottles of wine that our grandfather made and which we keep with pride.
The new and modern cellar
In the new modern cellar, in part dug into the hillside, designed to achieve the optimum conditions for the development and ageing of the wines, we carry out the bulk of our work; here, there are the steel tanks, big oak barrels, the wooden, manually-operated press and the wooden tank for red wine fermentation.
