Cascina San Michele: A Gem of Nizza Monferrato's Winemaking Landscape



On a picturesque hilltop, overlooking the serene Belbo stream and nestled within the southeastern borders of Nizza Monferrato, lies Cascina San Michele. This compact yet majestic 8-hectare estate is a testament to the intimate connection between land and vine, showcasing the exceptional quality of its Brachetto and Moscato grapes, cultivated with devotion under the warm embrace of the south-western sun.


Positioned at an altitude of 200 meters above sea level, Cascina San Michele's vines thrive in limestone-clay marl soils, a foundation that imparts a distinctive minerality and depth to the wines. This careful alignment of soil, exposure, and altitude fosters the growth of grapes that are expressive and rich in flavor, encapsulating the essence of the Nizza Monferrato terroir.


The estate's focus on Brachetto and Moscato varietals speaks to a tradition of winemaking that celebrates both the heritage and the innovation of the Piedmont region. The Brachetto is renowned for its fragrant bouquet and delicate sweetness, offering a sophisticated option for those who cherish nuanced wines. Moscato, on the other hand, dazzles with its aromatic intensity and balanced sweetness, making it a favorite among enthusiasts seeking a refreshing and versatile wine.
