Vite in Affido - Experience Cultivating, Growing and Producing Piedmontese Wine in a Natural Context of Rare Uniqueness and Beauty

Wine is your passion and you have always dreamed of owning a vineyard and a cellar to manage, but, due to work or lack of time, have you never had this chance? Vite in affido is a project born in 2020, with the aim of rediscovering the intrinsic bond of small Italian wine producers with the territory. Experience cultivating, growing and producing an excellent Piedmontese wine, in a natural context of rare uniqueness and beauty.

Our vineyards cover the sweet valleys of Alto Monferrato up to the first buttresses of the Ligurian Apennines and the healthy sea breezes that gently caress the slopes, mixing with the scents of the numerous medicinal herbs that grow inside the estate, infuse aromas and aromatic notes unique to the ripening grapes.

You will be able to enter your vineyard, reach the farmers engaged in harvesting, witness their work expertly handed down from father to son and experience first-hand a unique moment such as that of the harvest, reaping the fruits of a whole year of hard work.

Thanks to this project, you can taste your grapes directly from the plant just before they are harvested, learning and discovering everything that revolves around the production of wine, starting from the vineyard and ending in the winemaking and aging cellar.

The history of the cluster and its leaves will become an integral part of your life.

It is therefore not a simple adoption of a vineyard, but it is a real contribution to the affirmation of the Wine Culture, offering leisure and knowledge at the same time, in the magnificent region of Piedmont, steeped in charm, history and culture, in a place to the convergence of three territories with an established wine vocation: the Asti Langa, the Cuneo Langa and Monferrato.

Build your bond with the earth, weakened or broken by the daily routine, taste the joy of seeing your grapes born and grow, which are enriched with colors and scents, follow them until bottling and get what will be your wine from the variety of vine you have chosen.

Imagine the feeling of tasting the wine that you helped to give birth, following it step by step in the various processes, up to the harvest. By choosing one section of our wineyard you can experience being a winemaker and you will help to support the hard activity of farmers and winemakers who, for centuries, have contributed to preserving the secret of a naturally good wine.
