Cantine Povero

Rich Winemaking Heritage of Cantine Povero

Cantine Povero is nestled in Cisterna d’Asti, a picturesque village in the heart of Piedmont, where the regions of Roero, Monferrato, and Langhe converge. The winery's roots trace back to 1948 when the owner’s grandfather planted the first vineyards, driven by a deep love for the land and a desire to continue the winemaking tradition established by his ancestors in 1837. For over 180 years, the Povero family has dedicated itself to showcasing the unique terroirs of their 45 hectares of land. By blending time-honored traditions with modern innovations, they practice organic farming that respects the environment and promotes biodiversity.

The family’s vineyards are strategically located at the intersection of Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato, fostering a harmonious relationship between nature and agriculture.
