Cascina Garitina is founded in 1900 and is a family-run farm, now in its fourth generation with Gianluca Morino, the current owner, supported by Pasquale, Alessandra, Gaia and Veronica.
The name of the company is due to the great-grandmother Margherita, whose diminutive “Margheritina” in dialect is precisely Garitina; she started the business back in 1900 then continued by her grandfather Giovanni and her parents Pasquale and Assunta.

The activity of the farm is oriented towards the enhancement of Barbera, the vine that extends over most of their vineyards, and to which the land with the best exposures are reserved. In particular, the oldest vineyards are dedicated to the production of Nizza docg. The vineyards are located in the heart of Alto Monferrato, in the southern sector of Nizza DOCG and are divided between 85% Barbera and the remaining 15% between Brachetto, Dolcetto, Pinot Nero, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

NIZZA DOCG

Nizza Docg is produced entirely from Barbera grapes in a restricted area that includes 18 municipalities around Nizza Monferrato. A production disciplinary has set very strict constraints, to maintain high quality standards of grapes and wines.

THE STORY
Founded in 1960, in Bertiolo, Italy, CABERT has been synonymous with authenticity and the tradition of wine for over sixty years.

THE TERRITORY
The wines of the north-east of Italy are frontier wines, with a special identity having its roots in the commercial spirit of Venetian merchants, and in the challenges that winemakers have always had to face in this area, quickly learning to innovate, adapt and improve.

THEIR PHILOSOPHY: LOVE, LAND, TRADITION & INNOVATION
CABERT wines are born from the love we have for our land, and from a long wine-making tradition integrated with cutting-edge technological innovations. The result is extreme attention to detail throughout all stages of production, and a deep respect for the terroir, our vines, and all their peculiar qualities. The fruit of passion, commitment and love, we dedicate our wines to all those who already appreciate them, and to all those who will soon discover them.

Simple, Clear and Pure:

 

 

this is NUDO 

Agricola del Nudo gold at Millésime Bio Challenge for Vermentino Maremma Toscana 2020

The purpose

Nudo symbolizes “unvarnished, straightforward and purity”.
This is how the wine tastes: simple, clear and pure.
Sustainability is a top priority. Cultivated exclusively according to the rules of organic farming. The wines are fermented spontaneously. At Agricola del Nudo’s they only use sulphites in very small quantities and they only choose for the local grape varieties Vermentino, and Sangiovese but also Syrah.

The history

NUDO was born from the friendship between Stefano Bambagioni, a farmer from Maremma and Roland Krebser, a Swiss oenologist and is a project of the heart.
Stefano grew grapes using organic methods on his two-hectare vineyard. As an oenologist at a winery, Roland bought these grapes from him. That’s how they met in 2009 and that’s how the story began.
At first they only produced a small batch for families and friends. In the year 2012 the first major production of 3000 bottles for public sale started. Thanks to the wonderful cooperation and help of many friends, production was increased to a total of 24,000 bottles. Nevertheless, they have remained true to their philosophy.
Agricola del Nudo joined the VignaEnaoli family in 2023.

 

Excellent grapes from Maremma Tuscany

The wines are consistently grown and matured using organic methods. Great importance to collecting the entire harvest carefully by hand in small cassettes. The selection of the grapes takes place directly in the vineyard.
