Cascina Valeggia

The story of Cascina Valeggia is not traceable from historical documents but only from the tales handed down from father to son.

Cascina Valeggia is located in Moncalvo, a village of Piedmont in the province of Asti with more or less 3,500 people, situated 305 meters above sea level. The wide municipality territory, 17.6 square kilometers, after having been a fief of various noble families, passed to the bishops of Asti who, in 1198, ceded it to the Marquis of Monferrato. On August 9th, 1774 Vittorio Emanuele declared it City of Italy.

The Bollito family, from Cisterna, a municipality in the Asti area, comes to Moncalvo at the beginning of the twentieth century and chooses to produce high quality wines, using methods that respect tradition and nature.

With perseverance and patience it develops and achieves the sizes of our days thanks to the experience gained and handed down over the years for three generations. The company, with its 25 hectares of vineyards in constant development with new vineyards and modern technology, always ensures the best quality of the product. It can face the most demanding international markets with great traditional wines of Piedmont: Barbera d’Asti Superiore, Barbera d’Asti, Piemonte Barbera, Grignolino D’Asti and Freisa d’Asti; two White wines: Manzoni Bianco and Piemonte Chardonnay; some international red wines: Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah, and finally a very limited production of an indigenous variety of Monferrato: Slarina.

The Whole production is vinified in owned wine cellars with new technologies developed respecting hygiene and the typicality of the product. In the old cellars in brickwork, the best wines of Cascina Valeggia are aged in oak barrels. In addition to wines, delicious raw milk goat cheese is made, derived from milk produced in the company’s breeding farm, salami of own production, Piedmontese breed meat. All of our products can be tasted and bought in the new farm shop. The rooms of the farmhouse inn will be available soon.
