Scagliola > Piemonte

Scagliola is located in Calosso (Asti), a small village in southern Piedmont, on the last hills of Monferrato, at the edge of Langhe. The estate is run by brothers Maggiorino and Mario Scagliola and was founded by their grandfather in 1945. The previous generations were growers selling their wines in bulk. From 1980 onwards, the Scagliola brothers started investing in facilities to bottle their Moscato wines and subsequently bought rotofermenters for the red wines. The winery is state of the art and new buildings and machinery are continuously added to allow for growth.
Mario is in charge of the winery, while Maggiorino takes care of the vineyards. The domaine cultivates 28 hectares of Barbera, Moscato, Brachetto, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Dolcetto, and Merlot. A bit of sand, some layers of marl and a good dose of limestone characterize the soil.
Recognized regularly by Gambero Rosso, Wine Spectator and Parker, Scagliola is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Piedmont.
