My girlfriend and I booked a winery tour with a tasting, all of which was done through Smartbox. The winery is run by a small family business that strives to showcase local products. I enjoyed the winery tour, but perhaps it was a bit quick because I wasn't familiar with many of the steps and only heard the specific terms without any explanation of the process. The tasting took place in a well-furnished room with all the products available for purchase on display. We were shown a Vespolina and then two Nebbiolo varieties. For the Nebbiolo, they served us one glass between two, which I didn't think was ideal; I would have preferred one glass each. I also would have preferred that the glass had been changed between the Vespolina and Nebbiolo and not reused. In the end, we bought some breadsticks, noodles, and two bottles of wine.

Excellent tasting of Nebbiolo and Vespolina produced by this family winery. We also bought 3 bottles. Recommended!

Visit to the Fontechiara winery in Piedmont, under the designation “Colline Novaresi Doc”. The visit began with a tour of the winery and the history and production methods, then we moved on to the tasting starting with the rosés and ending with the reds alternating Vespolina and Nebbiolo. The tasting was accompanied by vegan pizzas since the winery has Vegan certifications and also includes this type of route. Very good winery and delicious wines, I highly recommend it. 🍷🍕

I don't like rosés but here is one that deserves it! Visited with friends by chance, small and charming winery that is making important efforts to cultivate the excellence of the territory such as the Vespolina vine that I did not know, it was a pleasant surprise. Supported by the acidic soils of the area it is a real pleasure especially the hint of pepper. Certainly to prefer the references that have made a splash for both the rosé and the red. We tasted 5 wines, each accompanied by excellent products of the area, exciting gorgonzola and venison salami. I recommend the Vespolina in its variations to those who want to try a product to preserve.
