Azienda Accornero
An Unexpected UFO in the Hills of Monferrato

Three days. Just three days mid-September in the rolling, sun-drenched hills of Monferrato – a landscape that feels like a secret kept too long from the rest of the world. I came expecting good wine, warm hospitality, maybe a few charming stories. What I found was something far more intoxicating: people. Not just winemakers, but guardians of a living heritage, bound together by a single, relentless passion – the pursuit of excellence in every vine, every harvest, every drop.

Bersano Opens the Doors of Cascina Badarina in Serralunga d’Alba

Among the great vineyards of Barolo, a new space to experience the signature hospitality of Bersano

Nizza Monferrato, September 2025 – Located in one of the highest and most scenic areas of the Langhe, Badarina stands out for its position and personality. Here, Bersano’s Barolo Badarina takes shape, the winery’s emblematic wine, capable of expressing both the strength of tradition and a forward-looking vision. Thanks to its historic connection with the cascina – purchased in 1968 and registered by Bersano (link) as a trademark even before the creation of the MGA – the winery benefits from a special authorization that allows vinification at its headquarters in Nizza Monferrato, while maintaining full belonging to Serralunga d’Alba.

The BARBERA D’ASTI and MONFERRATO Wines Consortium

Founded in 1946, the Barbera d’Asti and Monferrato Wines Consortium (link) has been promoting and protecting the excellence of Monferrato wines for over 70 years with the aim of representing the many souls that coexist here. And it does so by starting right from the winemakers – the heart of the area’s winemaking activity – offering them a centralized point of reference and, at the same time, emphasizing the individual peculiarities that make this area unique in the world. A daily commitment that fits into the broader perspective of continuing the work carried out by the communities that have succeeded one another in Monferrato over the centuries and that have been able to harmoniously reconcile winegrowing with the landscape, making it an integral part of it and passing down to the present day a tradition of ever-increasing quality value.
