Rossotto

This grape farm, which cultivates 15 hectares of land with vines between the Turin hills and of the Monferrato district in the province of Asti, produces about 35,000 bottles a year. Some of the wines are still sold unbottled but they can also be bought online on an e-commerce site and a home delivery service is offered in Turin. Freisa is the most representative grape variety of  the local area and the cellar itself. Andvinà Freisa di Chieri Doc Superiore, which combines freshness and body, is the most complex wine in the range. The Nebbiolo grape, cultivated in Pino d’Asti, displays all its potential in Jubé, Albugnano Doc. There is no shortage either of lighter, less structured wines, such as the sparkling Freisa, Chiaretto and Bonarda. La Marchesina instead is a successful attempt to use freisa grapes in a Metodo classico spumante, perfect as an aperitif or to go with meals. As well as the cellar, the Rossotto family, who have been devoted to winegrowing for more than a century, also run a scenically sited agriturismo, Tenuta La Serra.
