Cantine Volpi
Founded in 1914 in Tortona, the Cantine Volpi is still family owned and run. They produce Gavi, Barbera and Dolcetto at their winery in Viguzzolo. The designation Monferrato is a relatively recent one, allowing for blending of Barbera from the different villages such as Asti and Alba. This wine has received a little oak ageing and is a beautifully smooth, fresh fruited wine, with gentle tannins and a smoky, gamey finish.
