The Monferrato wine is the splendid red wine born in the homonymous Monferrato area (Italy). This geographical part of the Piedmont is considered ancestral cradle of the small farm devoted to wine, where every manufacturer is proud to leave their mark in the vineyard and in the cellar, creating a unique culture that is on the anthropological as well as on oenological-gastronomic. In Monferrato countless precious grapes are grown.

The territory of the Monferrato lies in the hills west of Turin, the course of the Bormida to the east and the river Po to the north. On these areas the continental climate of Piedmont (fedde-tempered) configures with its calcareous clay soil, well suited to viticulture, environmental characteristics to ensure exceptional oenological results .
