Cantina Le Ginestre

The Le Ginestre Winery is a family-run winery located in the municipality of Grinzane Cavour, nestled in the Hills of the Langhe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in Piedmont. This historic winery offers a unique Langhe wine tasting experience right in the heart of the winemaking tradition.

The small hamlet of Ginestre was already marked on cadastral maps as far back as the 1700s and has always been inhabited by winemakers, who have passed on their passion for working in the vineyards with the skills that are still theirs today. Some of them, who worked on the property of Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, architect of the Unification of Italy, were the ancestors of the Audasso family. Currently, in the Stanza delle Maschere (Room of the Masks) of the Castle of Grinzane Cavour, not far from the winery, it is possible to see the cadastral map from 1783 where the "Broom Region," as it was called then, is clearly visible.

Today, siblings Gian Luca and Barbara Audasso are proud to continue the family tradition, offering an authentic and historically rich Langhe wine tasting experience. In the winery, wines are processed as little as possible, preserving varietal characteristics to the fullest. Submerged cap winemaking, formerly used in the past, provides the best extraction of the coloring and aromatic substances contained in the skins, favoring flavorful and long-lived Barolos.
