TACCHINO AZIENDA VITIVINICOLA

The Tacchino winery, with a proud heritage spanning more than three generations, is perched amidst the picturesque hills of the Monferrato area in Piedmont. This idyllic location is the birthplace of its acclaimed white wines – Gavi D.O.C.G del Comune di Gavi, Moscato d’Asti D.O.C.G. and Piemonte D.O.C. Cortese – along with its esteemed red wines – Dolcetto d’Ovada D.O.C., Ovada D.O.C.G. / Dolcetto d’Ovada Superiore D.O.C.G. and Barbera del Monferrato D.O.C.

These four celebrated wine types are the cornerstone of the Tacchino winery’s renowned production, complemented by an assortment of other grapevines that thrive across the estate’s 25 hectares. Positioned around 300 meters above sea level and basking in the optimal south/south-eastern sun exposure, the vines are naturally sheltered from the northern winds by the estate’s natural topography. This, along with the distinctive “white soil” and the deliberate limitation on grape yield per hectare, culminates in the extraordinary quality of the wines.

The Tacchino family’s legacy of winemaking is marked by an enduring and genuine passion, with three generations developing invaluable expertise. Today, Romina, embodying the family’s tenacity and determination, leads the winery with the support of her brother Alessio. She honors the teachings of her parents, Renata and Luigi, and her beloved grandfather Carletto, blending tradition with cutting-edge technology.

 The estate benefits from the acumen of Mario Ronco, an oenologist of high repute with more than thirty years in the industry, esteemed as one of Italy’s finest. Their endeavors are further enhanced by Daniele Eberle, an accomplished agronomist who adeptly oversees every stage of the vineyard’s lifecycle, from planting to harvest. Eberle’s collaboration with leading Italian viticultural universities plays a pivotal role in advancing premium wine initiatives.

 The Tacchino winery is committed to making the renowned and beloved wines of Piedmont accessible at reasonable prices, all while preserving the region’s esteemed traditions. This dedication has been acknowledged with the Tre Bicchieri award from Gambero Rosso for 14 consecutive years, underscoring our constant commitment to excellence.

Over the last decade, the Tacchino winery has set its sights on an ambitious venture that many deemed unreachable: to demonstrate the longevity of the wines produced in the Ovada area, particularly the Dolcetto d’Ovada.
