This farm is situated in the mountains above Chiomonte. In 2006 Andrea Croce opened the cellar and pursed his family’s decision to grow solely native DOC Valsusa grapes. Together with his two sons, Alberto and Lorenzo, he produces wines packed with history. All the vineyard work is done by hand and the vine rows, at altitudes up to 850 metres, can only be reached on foot up steep pathways.
The product range includes: Madlena, made from baratuciat grapes, a slightly, mineral fruity white; Garbin, made with avanà grapes, a fresh, fruity red; Bouquet, made with becuet grapes, a soft red with intense notes of berry fruits; Vigna Veja, a blend of avanà, becuet and barbera grapes from a 60-year-old vineyard, a slightly balsamic red with berry fruit notes; Barbisin, made with avanà and becuet grapes, a fresh, fruity rosé; Due Metodo Classico 1965, which comes in white and rosé versions; and Desirée, made with moscato and barbera grapes and dried at low temperatures and aged in wood.
The farm also produces honey and saffron, and the restaurant by the vineyards uses much of the produce from its organic vegetable garden.
