24 Feb New Monferace Association is born
We are proud to give life together with other wineries to the Monferace association.
Passion is the key to Monferace
First of all, Monferace is a pact between winemakers, entrepreneurs, men and women who live, breathe and love this land: Monferrato. An alliance that unites passions and common goals: to increase the awareness of being a unique territory capable of an important tourist reception.
This is why we speak of a “territorial project” and not just of a wine. The Monferace Project involves the entire geographical area identified in the Aleramic Monferrato, defined by the Po and Tanaro rivers and the cities of Casale Monferrato, Alessandria and Asti. A land rich in history and mysteries, vineyards and castles, Romanesque churches and religious routes, infernots and casots, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and for this reason a destination for tourists from all over the world.
The offer ranges from food and wine, to culture, art, nature, outdoor activities and sports (trekking, cycling). The location is also strategic: Monferrato is located in the center of the Milan-Turin-Genoa triangle, and can be easily reached by motorway from the three centers and from the airports of Turin, Malpensa, Linate and Cuneo.
It is the project of a group of courageous winemakers who, for years, have loved, believed in and invested in that up and down of vineyards between Casale Monferrato, Alessandria and Asti. They want to restore dignity to a wine that for centuries was loved and sought after in all the Italian and European courts, by kings and illustrious figures.
Thus the winemaking philosophy is inspired by the past: it is necessary to wait patiently for many years and a passage in barrels before this vine best expresses its nobility and elegance.
The name Monferace was chosen because it is the ancient name of the Aleramico Monferrato. But Monferace is not just a wine: it is an ambitious project.
Our goal.
To support, promote and spread the Monferace Project, the Monferace Association was established in February 2016.
There are twelve founding members.
The main objectives are the communication and dissemination of Monferace and the creation of an entrepreneurial network in Monferrato, the production area, which allows a relaunch of these hills.
The Association deals with the organization of events, seminars, conferences and participates in initiatives for the promotion of activities related to Monferace also through participation in fairs, exhibitions, workshops and any other scientific, cultural, food and wine event.
The possibility of joining is foreseen for wine entrepreneurs who produce Grignolino (Doc d’Asti, del Monferrato Casalese, Piemonte) in the area of Monferrato Aleramico, associations of agricultural producers, oenologists and other subjects identified by the Assembly, who have the characteristics suitable for achieving the social goals.
Furthermore, the category “Friends of Monferace” has been established, which can also be joined by companies and/or associations outside the Monferrato Aleramico.
