Borgo Moncalvo

About

Borgo Moncalvo is a small winery located in the territory called “Langhe Astigiane”, a small portion of land with unique characteristics, between the High Monferrato of Alessandria and the High Langa of Cuneo. The soil, mostly calcareous, is cultivated with difficulty and with dedication has become more viable by men of the past thanks to the construction of walls kilometers long, made in Langa stone, which allow the soul to hold up in some places on large terraces. The stone stairs are built, as well as the walls with what emerged from the first excavations, completely done by hand. It has been around for over a hundred years and they now create an open-air museum breaking the vineyards horizontally and vertically. The pinnacle is reached where it is possible to visit the “heroic vineyards”, the oldest and most beautiful vineyards. Each grape produced tells a story of men and women who gave everything for this land.
