For almost one hundred years<\/strong> we at the “Cascina Fontanette” farmstead have been working with grapes and producing genuine wines<\/strong>, with the simplicity and experience derived from work and love for the land.<\/p>

Today we have got 8 hectares of land<\/strong> that I, Franco, manage with the help of my parents, who have worked as winemakers for their entire life.<\/p>

We produce different types of wine which express all the richness of this incredible land, between the extreme edges of the Langhe<\/strong> and the first hills of Monferrato<\/strong>.<\/p>

In our winery you will find authenticity<\/strong>, transparency<\/strong> and passion<\/strong>, and you will be welcomed by a warm and familiar environment.\u00a0You can also discover the history of our products which can be purchased on site<\/strong> or by home delivery<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

History<\/h2>

The history of the winery dates back to 1920<\/strong>.<\/p>

Our family is from Valdivilla, a small hilly hamlet<\/strong> just outside Santo Stefano Belbo, where they owned wooded land and vineyards<\/strong> and where they lived until 1944, when my grandfather traded the land and the house where he lived with the current house and the adjoining vineyards.<\/p>

They moved a little further on, just a few hills away, a few steps from the centre of the village, to what at the time was an old distillery<\/strong> with concrete tanks.<\/p>

The old buildings were demolished, and the entire area was renovated<\/strong> so as to leave room for the nascent winery.<\/p>

At the dawn of the ’60s<\/strong>, the wine business<\/strong> officially began.<\/p>

Thanks to the success of the sales<\/strong>, just a few years after, my family began to send the first barrels to Turin, Milan and Aosta, facilitated by the proximity of the railway station.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Surrounding area<\/h2>

Santo Stefano Belbo is a town with a vast wine culture. Thanks to the favorable microclimate<\/strong> and its central position in the history of local trade, the land has always been suited to wine production<\/strong> since the time of the Benedictine monks.<\/p>

The winery is located right at the foot of Moncucco<\/strong>, the famous “hill of the South Seas” praised by Cesare Pavese in his poetic collection Lavorare stanca<\/em>.<\/p>

Several generations have followed one another in the shadow of the great fig tree<\/strong>, which from the top of the hill welcomes visitors and provides shade<\/strong> during work in the vineyard. Although the past is dear to us, it does not bind us to an ancient winemaking<\/strong>. Tradition is the basis of innovation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Between innovation and tradition<\/h2>

Throughout the years, the production has always been faithful to the authenticity of the past<\/strong> but it also keeps a straight look at a sustainable future<\/strong>.<\/p>

Over the past 20 years, we have changed our operating style<\/strong> considerably, both in the vineyard and in the cellar.<\/p>

We produce clean energy<\/strong> through 4 photovoltaic systems and since 2010 we have abandoned the use of herbicides and limited the use of chemicals<\/strong>, treating our vineyards only with sulfur and greenery to ensure our customers a natural and transparent product<\/strong>.<\/p>

In fact, we believe that in order to make the most of a pure and genuine grape, man’s work must be reduced to a minimum<\/strong>.<\/p>

In particular, the Moncucco vineyard, which is difficult to work with due to its steep slope<\/strong> but rich in history and value, represents our best impetus towards clean production: manual labour<\/strong> and a vigorous nature.<\/p>
