Cascina Allegra

The vineyards enjoy an ideal location in full sun at an altitude of 300/330 m above sea level, silty loam soil facing south characterized by clayey-calcareous marl, Areniti di Tonengo e Pietra da Cantoni.

Barbera, the historic grape variety replanted in 2008, was first joined by Nebbiolo and then in 2016/2017 by sauvignon Blanc and Grignolino and in 2020 some rows of Pinot Noir and Viogner

Vertical trellised with short Guyot pruning the training technique

The responsible attention to agronomic aspects and sustainabilty , the pruning, harvesting and sorting of the grapes by hands ,and the professional approach of the winemaking process, where the respect for tradition and the know-how of the modern oenology optimally match, govern the business rationale of Cascina Allegra Estate. A business philosophy in which the amount and the production yield are always subordinate to the quality that is the firm primary goal. The production does not necessarily come every year, the grape and the olives  become wine and extravirgin olive oil only when the whole process guarantees an excellent quality of the final product.

After the first year of production in 2007 and the following vineyard renewal then, in 2010 was born Alcina, Barbera in purity,  the company’s first commercial product. Austere and important full-bodied wine that interprets the most typical vine-terroir identity

Following in the offer of Cascina Allegra have been added respectively:

• In 2013 Sermonti, Nebbiolo in purity, elegant and complex wine that brings out the nobility of the Nebbiolo grapes grown in Monferrato Casalese.
• In 2015 Falco, a blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera expresses the ideal integration of the tannins of one with the acidity of the other
• In 2019 Il Malillo, made from pure Sauvignon Blanc grapes in which the long stay on the fine lees in barriques/tonneaux with periodic batonage gives it a unique character.
