Visit "The Vineyard landscape of Piemonte: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato", inscribed in  in the UNESCO World Heritage List, since 22 june 2014

As IOWR we feel particularly consistent in this message that we are implementing in the vineyard and cellar with our sustainability  techniques.

Interesting is the article by Giancarlo Gariglio, published last year on Slowine, stating Organic conquered Langa. The article triggered some interesting debate, that we definitely support, about the need to preserve the landscape through a better integration of crops, fruit trees and more. Many of our vineyards are in fact guarded by trees to preserve the microclimate.

This is why you cannot miss the surrounding of our wineries:

• Neive: do not miss the clock tower at the center of the medieval village and Casa Cotto dwelling, the oldest in the country dating back to the thirteenth century, or the Tower of the Monastery of the tenth century (learn more on ilTurista.it )

• Castle Stefanago: Near Fortunago, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, the castle is also home to one of our Farmers Associates; the castle of unknown origin seems to date back before Christ; the tower of the eleventh century, but the reason to visit is just the landscape, an exceptional panorama full of mountains, green hills where agriculture MUST be necessarily sustainable in line with the beauty of the place.
