Food Production - Moasca, Piemonte, Italy
CASCINA LA GHERSA is an historical Wine-Estate in Piemonte, family owned/managed for 4 generations. The production is focused on the most important piedmontese grapes and appellations: Moscato d'Asti docg, Gavi docg, Timorasso doc, Grignolino d'Asti doc, Monferrato Bianco and Rosso doc, and mainly on BARBERA D'ASTI docg, the largest cultivated grape-variety in Piemonte. The Family was one of the first which replanted the Barbera vines in the "twenties" (1920's), destroyed previously by the dramatic "phyloxera" disease attacks, which killed all the vines growth in Europe between the end of 1800 and beginning of 1900. Still from the same original vines the Barbera VIGNASSA is produced since 1989, when we started to process separately the grapes, in order to achieve a superior and extraordinary quality, and show the real potential of the Barbera variety. Since the first vintages the VIGNASSA has been acknowledged as a premium Barbera not only by Italian and International Awards but by the major specialized magazines and wine-guides. We kindly invite you to take references about us, through other Italian Wineries and Wine-Makers, Importers, Wine-Writers and Wine-Guides. Nowaday CASCINA LA GHERSA is a "Boutique winery", still totally family runned: 22 Hectares of vineyards for a limited production of 180.000 bottles per year, distributed in 20 countries around the world, further to Italy. Our 100% Estate grown and bottled wines are totally based and focused on the distinctive and unique "Terroir" of Piemonte and its indigenous grape-varieties. Our goal is to open new market, positioning our wines on the top of the distribution and to a quality-conscious public: premium Restaurants, specialized Wine-Shops, Wine-Clubs, private Clients, Business to Business, ... Depending on the limited production we are looking for a quality and selected allocation of our wines, to keep building a strong worldwide reputation and image.
