Tenimenti Famiglia Cavallero: Piedmont in the heart, in the glass, in the soul
Our story is one of land, passion, and bold choices. Tenimenti Famiglia Cavallero was born from a family’s love for wine and for Piedmont, a land that has given us everything, and to which we give back with respect and dedication. Every bottle tells our journey: from the rediscovery of Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato, a once-forgotten grape variety that we helped bring to prominence, to the elegant expressions of Barbera, Barolo, and Timorasso, without forgetting our Vermouth di Torino, which carries centuries of history with a contemporary soul.
Our tasting experiences are not just simple samplings, but true emotional journeys: you will walk through the vineyards that guard our work, visit the cellar where the wine takes shape, and, glass in hand, discover the aromas, stories, and details that make our wines and spirits unique.
Here, there are no compromises: we select only the finest grapes, vinify with care, and let time do its work to offer you wines that do not follow trends but tell the story of who we are. If you want to experience Piedmont through its most authentic essence, come visit us. We look forward to sharing our dream with you, one sip at a time.
OUR TASTINGS
on the offers, a booking request will be sent to the winery, that will confirm your request.
JOURNEY IN MONFERRATO – 1h 30min – € 25pp
Monday to Saturday – two shifts: 10:00 and 15:00
Enjoy an authentic experience between wine, history and creativity.
Our proposal is not a simple tasting, but a total immersion in the world of Tenimenti Famiglia Cavallero.
We welcome you in our tasting room with a story that starts from the hills of Scurzolengo and goes through the history of our family, pioneers in the valorization of the Ruchè grape variety.
The visit continues through the most intimate areas of the cellar: the Caveau, where the most precious vintages rest, and the Barrels room, the beating heart of the refinements. Here you will discover the secrets of maturation in oak, the philosophy that guides our production choices and the importance of time in forging the identity of each wine.
Next, we will guide you in the tasting of four labels representative of our production: a white wine and three red wines, with particular attention to Ruchè, the true soul of Monferrato.
But we don’t want to stop at wine.
We conclude the journey with a taste of our Vermouth di Torino Superiore, emblem of aromatic elegance.
And for those who want to continue… an experience in the world of mixology: the tasting of Bitteranza and the possibility of creating your own personal cocktail.
The tasting is accompanied by our breadsticks.
RUCHÉ IN ITS HIGHEST EXPRESSION – 1h 30min – € 50pp
A few minutes from Asti, a winery awaits you that tells the story of a family, a territory, and a unique wine: Ruchè.
Start with a story between memory and vineyard, explore our Caveau, discover how the great reds are born in the refinement room and then sit down for a guided tasting of four wines, with a focus on our Ruchè.
Ruchè at its best is a unique experience of visiting with the producer with a guided tasting of the classic version of Ruchè ‘Na Vota and the three reserves Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato Pro Nobis, Ruchè di
Castagnole Monferrato Genesi and Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato Hereditarium.
The Hereditarium corresponds to the maximum expression of each vintage of the Ruchè grape variety.
But it doesn’t end here…we invite you to taste our Vermouth di Torino Superiore and experience a special moment with a more aristocratic version of the Ruchè grape variety.

We had an amazing personal experience with Franco, the owner. He guided us perfectly through his wide variety of wines and made us feel quite comfortable. You should definitely visit Sant‘Agata!

Net buiten het slaperige stadje Scurzolengo in de regio Asti ligt Cantine Sant’ Agata. Wij waren zijn hier in augustus op advies van meerdere locals langs gegaan. Het is een familie bedrijf, midden in het Ruchè gebied, waar Franco Cavallero de scepter zwaait. Een zeer gastvrije en passievolle man, hij nam uitgebreid de tijd voor ons terwijl ze midden in een verbouwing zaten. Zeer mooie wijn filosofie en manier van produceren in het algemeen. Met de plannen die er zijn voor de proeverijen en wijntour is dit echt iets waar je volgende jaar heen moet. Ben je in de buurt van Asti en hou je van wijn dan is mijn advies, ga hier langs! En dan hebben we het nog niet eens gehad over de ‘spirits’ (sterke dranken) die hij ook maakt.
