Rocco Di Carpeneto
"Rocco di Carpeneto" winery is a young reality, their first harvest was in 2012, located in Rocco di Carpeneto, admist the Alto Monferrato hills, on a small plateau gently shaped by small valleys at 270 mt above sea level and all the area has been since long time vocated to the viticolture.

The different wines are all vinified in the same way. Only native yeasts are used in fermentation, with extended maceration, in steel tanks, terracotta amphoare, wooden casks and concrete tanks, soft pressing and no temperature control. Wine making philosophy is based on the respect of traditional practices, as well as of micro-terroir and microclimate conditions diversity.
