Tenuta Il Falchetto: A Legacy of Winemaking

Nestled in the picturesque hills of Langhe and Monferrato, Tenuta Il Falchetto is a prominent winery comprising several sub-estates. The winery spans across the charming towns of Santo Stefano Belbo and Castiglione Tinella in Cuneo province, as well as Agliano Terme and Calosso in Asti province.

The Fornos Family Heritage

The Fornos family's winemaking tradition began in 1940 with Pietro Forno, who initially focused on Moscato grapes. Over the decades, the winery has evolved through cellar renovations, vineyard restorations, and the adoption of modern winemaking techniques. Today, the fourth generation of the Fornos family—brothers Giorgio, Fabrizio, and Adriano—continues this proud legacy.

A Diverse Selection of Grapes

Tenuta Il Falchetto's vineyards feature a diverse selection of nine grape varieties, both native and international, carefully chosen for their quality. Approximately 50% of the vineyards are dedicated to Moscato, while 30% is allocated to Barbera under the Barbera D’Alba DOC designation. The remaining 20% includes unique varieties such as Dolcetto, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Nero. The vineyard team employs meticulous winter pruning and summer thinning, followed by 100% manual harvesting to ensure only the finest grapes are selected for their wines. Tenuta Il Falchetto is renowned for its award-winning Moscato and Barbera wines, making it a must-visit for wine enthusiasts.

Had an educational, but fleeting, tour. Good muscats and wines. We passed up a few wines, not because of the taste, but because of the price. In the Netherlands, some wines are €5 cheaper, which is a shame. The tour, on the other hand, was deducted from the cost of the wine (after a minimum purchase of €100).

We had the pleasure of being able to taste your Moscato il Facchetto estate del fant.. Tasted in an exceptional restaurant in Umbria, an absolutely excellent product and practically impossible to find in our areas. My most sincere compliments for your product...

The visit started with a tour of the facilities where the wine was made. An expert guide gave us a good explanation of the process. During the wine tasting he spoke with empathy about the different wines and what kind of food they went with. Of course, we ended up buying a few bottles of wine with us.
