Barbera d'Asti DOCG 2025

Piemontese Excellence and Tradition

Barbera d'Asti DOCG 2025 is a red wine of great personality, a true expression of the lands of Alto Monferrato.

It is made from Barbera grapes cultivated with care in a one-hectare vineyard planted in 2005, ensuring mature vines and exceptional fruit quality. This iconic Piedmontese grape variety stands out for:

• Balanced acidity: A natural freshness that guarantees great drinkability and a clean palate.

• Body and structure: An alcohol content of 14.5% that provides roundness and warmth.

• Typical aromas: Intense notes of ripe red fruit (cherry and wild berries) with spicy nuances.

The Production Process

The winemaking process follows strict quality standards:

• Manual harvest: Careful hand-picking of the clusters to select only the best fruit and preserve the integrity of the grapes.

• Maceration: 8 days on the skins to extract the ideal color and structure.

• Malolactic fermentation: Spontaneous at the end of the alcoholic fermentation, essential for smoothing out the acidity and making the taste harmonious and round.

• Aging: A controlled period of rest in the bottle to allow the wine to express its maximum potential.

Chielisò is a small family-run winery that has its roots dating back to 1972. We belong to a family of winemakers for four generations, and our work has always been guided by a deep love for the land and respect for its fruits. 

We are located in the hills of Alto Monferrato, in the town of Cassine, a charming medieval village a few kilometers from Acqui Terme, in a land where tradition meets nature and time still flows to the rhythm of the seasons.

Chielisò was not born from a marketing strategy nor from a search for originality, but from a gesture of love. Marco and Giovanna combined the names of their children — Chiara, Elia, and Sofia — creating a name that encapsulates the very essence of our family.

Our vineyards extend over four hectares within the protected natural area of Bosco delle Sorti – La Communa, a precious ecosystem of hills, woods, and trails immersed in tranquility, where biodiversity is preserved with respect and dedication. In this unique environment, the vine grows in harmony with nature, producing authentic wines deeply connected to the territory.

From our grapes are born Barbera del Monferrato DOC, Barbera d’Asti DOCG, Dolcetto d’Acqui DOC, Cortese dell’Alto Monferrato DOC, Monferrato Freisa DOC, Syrah, and a refined Moscato Spumante.

The quality of our wines takes shape primarily in the vineyard. We cultivate without the use of herbicides and without fixed-schedule phytosanitary interventions, but regulated by weather data collection stations installed at multiple points in the vineyards that determine when intervention is truly necessary. This choice stems from the belief that the land must be listened to before it is worked.

The harvest is carried out strictly by hand, carefully selecting the best bunches. It is a moment that for us retains the authentic flavor of tradition: days of shared work, smiles, stories, and conviviality, values that have accompanied the grape harvest for generations.

With the same dedication, we accompany every stage of winemaking, aware that wine is born from the harmony between nature and human labor. For this reason, we operate with care and respect, so that each bottle expresses not only the character of the territory but also an authentic and beneficial relationship between what we produce and those who will have the pleasure of sharing it.

We look forward to welcoming you to our winery, by appointment throughout the year, to share an experience among the aromas and flavors of the territory. You can taste our wines accompanied by the best typical products of the Acqui area and discover the timeless charm of the medieval village of Cassine.
