CASCINA DEL FRATE di Gozzelino Giorgio

Cascina del Frate di Gozzelino Giorgio operates in Costigliole d'Asti, a point where three distinct Piedmontese DOCG denominations converge. The core is Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato, a red with an unmistakable profile born in a restricted appellation of seven municipalities, flanked by Barbera d'Asti, aged for at least four months to acquire structure and definition. The third voice is Terre Alfieri, which opens the register to white Arneis wines and Nebbiolo versions, expanding the palette beyond the usual Piedmontese duo. In this triangle of denominations, Giorgio Gozzelino can move on different planes — the aromaticity of Ruchè, the backbone of Barbera, the finesse of Terre Alfieri — interpreting the same terroir with multiple keys. The result is a portrait of a producer who prefers a variety of expressions over the monoculture of a single grape variety, remaining faithful to the grammar of Asti wines.
