MONFERRATO HORIZON

Monferrato: a word that contains history, legend and myth. There are multiple and hypothetical assumptions regarding the origin of the name: monx ferrax therefore fertile mountain; mun fra for iron bricks; mons ferratus for mountain planted with emmer.

Although different, they all lead back to some key words, still identifying this area today: the fertility of a land suited to agriculture.

The legend, which as such has no historical reference, sees as protagonists the deeds of a noble in love. He is Aleramo to whom Otto I, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and father of Alasia, the beloved woman, will donate all the lands from the Tanaro river to the Orba river and up to the shores of the sea. This is wha Monferrato was and is.

Monferrato today is history and nature, a crossroads of knowledge and flavors where man and land are inextricably linked.

Monferrato, by its nature, is a biodiverse land where man has always chosen to respect the design of Mother Nature. The cultivation of vines is thus integrated into a larger picture, naturally in the name of harmony, dictated by the sinuous hills and the colours that change season after season.

BIODIVERSITY: WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

BIODIVERSITY:
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Gold, like the wheat that still grows on the slopes most exposed to the sun. The green of the meadows and pastures that feed the farms in the wild. Brown: the colour of the earth where mushrooms and truffles grow. Yellow like sunflowers kissing the light. And then the purple that, as summer falls, appears among the rows, the colour of the grapes that grows among the geometries designed by man.

Authenticity: a word, more and more often abused, but of which Monferrato embodies its deepest meaning. In addition to the biodiversity of the area, which has always been respected, companies, wineries and restaurants have chosen to preserve the essence of Monferrato through sustainable and respectful actions, both of the natural heritage, of traditions and of history. This is how genuine experiences take shape where technological innovation is at the service of food and wine quality.
