Producer Cascina Gasparda

PIEDMONT

In the Salvaneschi family, wine has always been made, even if only for family consumption or to be given to agricultural cooperatives. In 2010 Mauro and Roberto start making their own wine under the name Cascina Gasparda, immediately following an organic regime in the vineyard and then get closer to biodynamics in the cellar. Over time and after a long time courtships to old farmers, they managed to rent some vineyards and to date the bottles produced have reached an altitude 15,000, all daughters of the Casalese Monferrato. Here the territory is rich of hills with clayey and calcareous soils, where the vine finds its home that most represents this area: the Grignolino. To tame the great structure and tannin of the powerful reds as a dowry, Mauro and Roberto make long refinements in small used barrels, exclusion made for the three "young" and ready-to-drink wines such as Suetta, Scheriol and Vulp.
