Young vignerons from Nizza Monferrato have finally made their dream come true and created a place where they can grow their own grapes: in the heart of the UNESCO site of Piedmont region. They farm Barbera, Moscato, Cortese and Chardonnay following a rather holistic approach for a low impact on the eco-system.
