Valdisole

Valdisole was born at the beginning of 2015 on the Roero hills in a small town called Corneliano d'Alba in the heart of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today that old vineyard is and continues to be expanded with the addition of both young and old vines. The Valdisole vineyards are all located in the DOCG Roero areas and mostly in the additional Valdistefano geographical denomination.
Valdisole is born out of curiosity, and this is the reason why our wines can seldom be described as "traditional".  Motivated by a great passion for wine and love towards everything that is original, essential, we are continually experimenting with new and old practices, applying to the grapes our region the winemaking techniques of other areas of the world. This is the reason why often in our wines you will find colours and perfumes that are not always expected or “typical”. In some way, they are the expression of philosophies at times visionary at times crazy that continue to evolve. There is only one principle that remains invariable; from the vineyard to the winery, the only ingredient of our wine is the grape. In Valdisole we follow strictly the natural practices without using synthetic chemicals or enological forcing.
We are producing Nebbiolo, Malvasia moscata (a very rare Malvasia variety), white Muscat, Arneis, and other local varieties. Everything is done manually since the vineyard is all in 30-50 degrees slope, without any use of chemical products even if admitted in organic/biodynamic agriculture. We also don't do any interventions in the cellar; we do only spontaneous fermentations without temperature control. We do not filtrate, neither we fine, and we use very low sulphur in the bottling phase only when necessary (20-30 mg/L).
