About Tacchino
Monferrato is traditionally a famous wine region, in the Piedmont in Italy, where the vineyards cover the hills like a blanket. The Tacchino winery (around 25 hectares, half of which are planted with vines) is in the heart of this green area. The domain has the shape of a natural amphitheater, which protects the vineyards against the cold northern wind from the Alps. The southern location of the vineyards, the 'white' lime-rich soil, the relatively low production per hectare and the traditional way of harvesting are among other things the secret of these high-quality wines.
