Piedmontese Peasant WinesPiero Benevelli is a family-run winery located in Monforte d'Alba, in San Giuseppe, in the heart of Piedmont's Langhe region, the homeland of some of Piedmont's most prestigious wines.
Founded in 1978, with only 5 hectares of land, it is run today by Massimo Benevelli who, together with his wife Denise, carries on his father Piero's work, having assisted him throughout his adolescence and youth in the vineyard and cellar.
The Piero Benevelli Winery now covers 8 hectares of land from which just under 50,000 bottles are produced annually. These soils possess unique characteristics, thanks to the soil composition rich in calcareous marls, sands and clays, which give the wines a complex structure and an unmistakable aromatic profile.
The philosophy of cultivation and production of Piero Benevelli wines is based on respect for the land and its resources, with a sustainable and eco-friendly approach. Agronomic techniques with low environmental impact, such as integrated pest management and reduced use of pesticides, are used to preserve the biodiversity and viticultural heritage of the area.
In the winery, winemaking and aging methods follow Piedmontese winemaking traditions, with special attention paid to grape selection and attention to detail at every stage of the production process. The result is typical Piedmontese wines of great elegance and longevity, such as Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba Bricco del Pilone and the three Barolos from the three separately vinified crus: Le Coste di Monforte, Mosconi and Ravera di Monforte.
The wines of the Piero Benevelli winery masterfully combine the power of Monforte d'Alba with a finesse and immediacy rare in this appellation. Elegant and deep wines, so good that they can be appreciated even in their youth.
