Our philosophy
The philosophy of “La Patareina”, vineyards-cultivating and winery, goes around one concept: Quality.
Quality is a concentrate of experience, handed down traditions and passion for what we do every day and it is in this way that nothing is left to chance… Our slogan “THE LAND, THE VINEYARD, THE WINE” means simply this: our Traditions. our Work, our Passion
A tradition
Every harvest is a promise. Not an ending, but the silent beginning of a new story. Between the rows, the grapes ripen under skies that we observe with hope and respect, knowing that every season is a dialogue between the earth, time and the hands of those who cultivate it.
There is no rush, only patience. Each plot holds a character, each bunch a nuance. We choose them with care, we accompany them to the cellar, where each wine takes shape respecting its origin, as if the land itself wanted to speak.
This is Patareina: a family story, of seasons that return, of repeated and never the same gestures. A legacy born from hard work, grown as a tradition and today transformed into passion.
We have always been winemakers. And every bottle that comes from this land is the sign that, even when everything seems to end, something true and precious is just beginning.
The territory
“La Patareina” is a part of “Piedmont Wine Landscape: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato”, recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Site. La Patareina’s lands are situated in Castel Boglione and Nizza Monferrato region, where the expression of the wines, confirms the heterogeneity of the ancient lands.
Our lands represent two type of soil: that wich we like to call “Tèra Sòbia” or earth and sand, ideal for vineyards with white grapes like Chardonnay, and the “Terre Rosse” (red earth), particulary of the San Michele in Nizza Monferrato, sector of real estate, classified as rich and profund lands, with clay and lime, iron and magnesium oxide and less acid. Thanks for the elevate temperature changes, the vines have optimum resouces, above all the red. it also turns the white lands, that have a lot of silt, clay and rock deep. They are the typical limestone soils and marl, white, gray or beige, rich in calcium carbonate. The vine is grown right there, giving full-bodied wines, which are maintained for a long time.
