Winery Philosophy and Terroir

Located in the Caranzano di Cassine area of Monferrato, the winery benefits from ideal viticulture conditions, thanks to its hilly terrain and limestone-rich soil. The region is renowned for its prestigious DOCs, making it a prime location for grape cultivation. The Ivaldi family practices meticulous viticulture, resulting in small yields of high-quality, ripe grapes. Each grape batch is vinified separately, and the wines are refined in wooden barrels, ensuring that every bottle reflects their dedication to quality from vineyard to bottle.
