🏡 Tastings & visitsBarbera d'Asti DOCGRuchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOCGTerre Alfieri DOCG
Forteto della Luja, located in Loazzolo, has evolved from a grape-growing operation to a multi-denomination winery producing Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato, Terre Alfieri, and Barbera d'Asti across its DOCG zones. The stone cellars, built in the late 1700s, anchor a property documented since 1826. In 1985, the estate pivoted toward winemaking, reviving ancestral practices and achieving recognition for late-harvest Moscato. Today, the azienda welcomes visitors for tastings amid the vineyards bordered by Rio Luja.
