Scagliola Sansi
The Scagliola winery sits on the very top of the San Siro hill, overlooking vineyards in every direction. The vineyards cover almost 40 hectares, planted at altitudes ranging from 320 to 380 meters above sea level. This idyllic place is sandwiched between Monferrato and Langhe, next to the medieval castle of Calosso and its surrounding villages.
The soil here is a unique mixture of marl, limestone and sand. Experts in terroir believe that sandy soils create wines with fruitier flavours, while limestone helps the vines to produce grapes with a rich and complex profile.
