Cantine Volpi
Tortona · Province of Alessandria · Piemonte
From Tortona, at the foot of the Alessandrian Apennines, Cantine Volpi has been working since 1961 with grapes arriving from Sicily, producing two island denominations — DOC and IGP — from varieties such as Nero d'Avola, Frappato, and Nerello Mascalese. The distance between vineyard and winery does not diminish the southern character: temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks govern fermentation, while barrique and large French oak barrels provide time and measure for aging. The winery's profile combines modern tools and established practices: an internal analysis laboratory accompanies every phase, and Equalitas certification as a Sustainable Organization frames the work within verified parameters. It is an articulated structure, designed so that each step — from grape reception to bottling — remains under control. Those who want to understand how a Sicilian red takes shape in eastern Piedmont can book a visit with a tasting: the most direct way to read, in the glass, the long supply chain that connects two regions.
