The estate   The Violina estate stretches over 11 hectares reproducing all the richness and beauty of the Monferrato landscape. As it would be for a tiny old hamlet, the large farmhouse and the little consecrated church overlook, from the top of a hill, the vineyards producing that variety of Barbera which is then aged in cellars carved out of tuff. In the valley, vegetable gardens and orchards are cultivated with organic treatments. To complete the picture are century-old woods providing cool in the summer heat.
