...... Each winery encloses the glass caskets stories
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”…
We have the great fortune of being able to contribute day by day to realize a dream, that dream from which everything was born.
Originally a small winery born almost by chance, after decades of pure sale of grapes and thirty years lived in continuous evolution, today Costa dei Tigli plows new seas with tenacity, determination and keeping its growth.
Continuity is important in a company, which is represented by the infinite line and every line, yes you know, it’s an infinite set of points … we daughters have decided not to interrupt this infinite, we have simply decided to stay, but often simple is not synonymous with easy
and considering it all, staying requires a lot of courage.
Today Costa dei Tigli cultivates 13 hectares of vineyards between Costigliole d’Asti and Isola d’asti. Which vineyard haf to be planted was originally chosen on the basis of the soil, position and composition of the land. We mainly produce Barbera d’Asti DOCG in its two expressions: more young, bottled in the year after the harvest and Superiore. In our cellar you will also find other typical Monferrato wines like Dolcetto, Cortese, Grignolino and Moscato.
Our lables are portraits of women, to mark the pink notes of our company and their bright colors reflect each character of us. We named each of our wines. Reading the label with the glass in your hand, you will notice so that you are enjoying Dani, Fiore, Lucy, Giulia, Bruna, Birba … ask us why and we will tell you!
