Castello di Montegrosso
REGION Piemonte
The Montegrosso winery is steeped in history: documents show that its present owners, the Motta family, have been producing wine since 1794. The company itself takes its name from the feudal Castle of Montegrosso d’Asti, built in 1134 by order of the Marquis Bonifacio del Vasto, which dominates the hilly area around Asti in Piemonte. It is here that winemaker Graziano Motta produces one some of our favorite Barbera d’Asti wines of recent years. The wine is named “Ruleja“, after the historic vineyard from which the fruit is sourced. This two hectare site has long been a provider for quality wines — Motta’s vines were planted over sixty years ago.
