The Historic Marchesi Alfieri Winery

Marchesi Alfieri is a renowned winery located in the stunning baroque castle of San Martino Alfieri, nestled between the picturesque Langhe, Monferrato, and Roero hills. Since 1983, the winery has been managed by Giovanna, Antonella, and Emanuela, with Mario Olivero serving as the chief winemaker and director since 1999. The estate spans 21 hectares of vineyards, producing approximately 130,000 bottles of wine annually. Here, visitors can experience a blend of rich history, wine culture, and warm hospitality.

Heritage of Barbera Grapes

The estate's vineyards, situated on gentle slopes, are around 70 years old and yield high-quality grapes. The primary focus is on the historic Barbera grape, complemented by Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir, and Grignolino. The Guyot training system is employed for vine cultivation, and grape clusters are selectively thinned to enhance quality. Manual harvesting takes place from September to October, ensuring that only the best grapes are picked.

Artisan Winemaking Practices

At Marchesi Alfieri, the finest grapes are handpicked and transported to the cellar in small crates. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to maximize the potential of every grape. The winemaking process is meticulous, resulting in their acclaimed red and sparkling wines. The winery aims to produce complex, distinct, and elegant wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the Piedmont region. Marchesi Alfieri has received accolades from the Yearbook of the Best Italian Wines and Gambero Rosso, highlighting their commitment to quality.

Good experience. Nice trip around the castle. The Barbera, the pinot noir and the spumante are very good.

The wine tasting was excellent and generous, with smooth local wines, just the way I like them. Some of the dishes, according to their names, were tasty; the gnocchi were good. The friendly waiter is available to answer all your questions, attentive, and willing to intervene with an empty glass. The service is fast and attentive. The price is unsurprising. HELLO

Easy parking with charging stations if needed. A very warm welcome, a room with a pleasant living space, a spacious bathroom, and perfect temperature. On the other hand, the dining options in the surrounding area, accessible without a vehicle, are very limited.

This place is truly beautiful, such a peaceful place. The ladies who work here are so friendly and wanting to be helpful. I stayed here with my mum & my dog, the room is perfect, it feels very exclusive. The breakfast is great, lots of variety, from boiled eggs, pastries, granola and more. The gardens are stunning alongside the buildings. We also did a wine tasting tour which was fun and very informative about the estate and the history of it. Wines were fantastic, a choice for everyone. I will most certainly be coming back to stay.
