The
company "PRODUTTORI DI GOVONE" was founded by a few farm companies
in 1957; it was constituted as farm cooperative and today has 200 members
living in the village.
It is
situated on the left of the Tanaro river, between Asti and Alba, Govone has
a glorious history testified by the eighteenth-century
Savoy residence that dominates the view.its
position, the meeting point for prestigious winy
zone as Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, made Govone as a village made for the
winy production, in particular for a special Barberra d’Alba d.o.c.
Our company cultivates 120 hectares of vineyards and vinifies the grapes
that are produced to have prestigious piedmontese wines: the Barbera that
is the
buttonhole flower in the company, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Bonarda , Grignolino,
Freisa, Arneis, Favorita.
The
long way that brings to on high quality wine, begins in our producers vineyards.
The plots of land are classified in relation with the exposure and the composition
of the soil, so our technicians can follow the ripe of the grapes and determinate
the good time to harvest the grapes. The selection of the grapes is made
in the vineyards, in the cellar we have the most advanced technologies for
the vivification and the conservation that are together with the experience
and the tradition.
In the latest years we wanted to link together the important role the wine
has in the economy of our
village with the prestige that the Castle has.
So we have the manifestation "NOBILTA'
E VINO"; This one, from 1999, invites every years tourists and people
who loves wines and local products, in a context of culture historical evoking's
adopted in the Savoy residence.
