CASCINA CARLEN di Spagarino Paolo

Between Monferrato and Astigiano, in southern Piedmont, Cascina Carlen di Spagarino Paolo brings together three DOCG denominations, each linked to its own grape variety and character. The cornerstone is Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato, an aromatic rarity whose grapes reach at least 12.5% vol., around which the entire project revolves. Alongside this niche production are Barbera d'Asti, the region's benchmark red, and Terre Alfieri, where Arneis and Nebbiolo are expressed according to the types stipulated by the denomination. Managing three such diverse DOCG wines — a rare aromatic, a full-bodied red, and a denomination that combines white and Nebbiolo — declares a precise choice of direction: to prioritize the precise expression of each terroir and microclimate instead of flattening everything into a single style. The result is a plural interpretation of southern Piedmont, where each of the three denominations maintains its own voice and contributes, with the others, to compose a complete portrait of a border area between hills and grape varieties.
