CANTINE FRANCESCO II di Denicolai Giuseppe

Barbera d'Asti DOCGRuchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOCGTerre Alfieri DOCG

Cantine Francesco II, run by Giuseppe Denicolai, commands three prestigious DOCG designations across Piedmont's heartland. The producer focuses on Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato, a rare indigenous red built from the Ruchè grape alongside Barbera and Brachetto. Simultaneous production of Terre Alfieri whites and reds—spanning Arneis and Nebbiolo—demonstrates technical range. Barbera d'Asti, aged four months minimum, anchors a portfolio rooted in the region's 165-municipality production zone.
