Azienda Agricola Cavallero #143
Unique Winery in the Heart of Alta Langa
Cavallero winery is located between Cuneo Lange and Asti Lange. Cavallero is one of the few wineries in this region. The vineyards located on steep hills, have become some kind of exception in the local landscape. Meadows are located on one side of the winery, whereas forests and nut groves interacting with the vineyards, are abundant on the other side, which ensures the unique taste of the wines produced.
The Cavallero family has Spanish roots and arrived to Alta Langa yet in 1556. The current owners’ ancestors were engaged in growing mixed crops from cereals to mulberry trees for the production of silk, as well as grapes. But gradually in the 80s of the 20th century, production had completely focused on viticulture and winemaking. The grandfather of the current owners, Giacomo Cavallero, founded the winery. At the current stage, his son Lorenzo and nephew Giacomo, who are in charge of the winery’s management, carry on the family’s tradition. The winery remains a family business, continuing its own history and philosophy of winemaking. Cavallero is not only a winery, it is also a time capsule, where the taste of tradition is embodied in each drop of wine.
