The Estate

The Santa Maria del Garino Estate is in the municipality of Clavesana, in the Western Langhe, set within the UNESCO vineyard landscapes and in the area that is home to the precious Alba white truffle. The old estate comprises roughly 50 hectares of land, with a small village in the middle, a swimming pool and some other rural buildings. 15 hectares of this land are cultivated as vineyards, in soils of ancient marine origin which have yielded up extremely interesting fossilised coralliferous madrepores.

Tenuta Garino

The new frontier of the Western Langhe

This is the “Other” Langa, which joins the Langhe and the Alta Langa, forming the western part, home to the roots of a wonderful story which began with Beppe Fenoglio’s “Malora” and has brought us to its acknowledgement as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Vineyards

The estate is made up of more than 50 hectares and comprises fields and woods that provide the perfect setting for delightful walks. It has a central residential area and 15 hectares of

vineyards. Dolcetto is the grape traditionally grown in the area and used to make Dogliani DOCG Superiore and this variety has now been joined by Nebbiolo, Barbera and Riesling, as well

as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, cultivated to make both still wine and sparkling Alta Langa DOCG.

The Environment

Tenuta Garino is set in the middle of an area which is still very natural, where the vineyards are accompanied by fields and forests, creating a complex rural context.
