Our vineyard heritage has almost reached ten hectares, the greater
part owned. The two farms are located in Agliano Terme
and Costigliole d'Asti.
The first one, mainly devoted to Barbera, is included
in the cru "Nizza". Here after having selected
the best vineyards for the production of Barbera,
we've decided to introduce new vines such as Merlot,
Cabernet Sauvignon and Nebbiolo, that allow us to
experiment new vinification techniques and also new
blending.
The second one in Costigliole, included in the "Tinella"
cru, has a south exposure, and it's completely dedicated
to the Barbera growing: no doubt the wine that in
the last few years has became our flag both in Italy
and abroad.
For all the remaining grapes Valfieri has always purchased
the finest grapes from growers whose vineyards are
in the region's best zones: extraordinary crus, perfectly
exposed to the sun, with extremely limited production
per hectare.
