Cascina San Michele

Marco Minnucci began his winemaking career in Costigliole in 2010 and, after meeting his future partners, opened the Farmhouse Cascina San Michele in 2015. The farm’s vineyards are all situated within the council area of Costigliole d’Asti between Langa and Monferrato, where Barbera, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, Brachetto, Bonarda and Cortese are planted. The vineyards are maintained in accordance with a strictly organic approach. The aim is to avoid interfering excessively with the development of the vines, but rather enable them to express themselves in the best possible way in every single year’s production and to maintain a healthy yield. The winemaking philosophy is all about minimalism. Only natural yeast is part of the fermentation and no substance is added that could modify the characteristics of the wine: the sulfur levels are below half of legal limit and the wines are non filtered. The results are truly terroir driven expressive wines that are matched by Marco's larger than life personality!
