Agnelli Viassone
Agnelli Viassone is a small family-run winery in the heart of the Langhe, between Grinzane Cavour and Diano d'Alba. The story began in 1985 with Piero Agnelli, who bought a farmhouse on these marly limestone soils, a soil that gives the wines savoriness, freshness, and a distinct mineral imprint. In 2020, Alessia and Daniele took over the project with a clear vision and great respect for the raw material, without losing connection to the family roots.
The vineyards, just over 3 hectares, are located on steep slopes, making manual work not a stylistic choice but a necessity, and at the same time, a guarantee of care and attention to every single plant. In the cellar, the philosophy follows the same logic: spontaneous fermentations with indigenous vineyard yeasts, very little added sulfur only during bottling when necessary. An approach that requires experience and courage, but allows the wines to express themselves authentically.
From Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto come reds with character and drinkability, while the two whites complete a curious and personal range. The Arneis interprets the native Piedmontese grape with freshness and minerality, while the Riesling Langhe represents a successful gamble: an unusual grape for these latitudes that in the hands of Alessia and Daniele finds its precise and fascinating identity.
