The Family
Winegrowers for five generations, the Accornero family continue with the same passion and commitment that inspired great-grandfather Bartolomeo to produce high quality wines.
Winemakers since 1897
Our centuries-old history
Owners and winemakers, the Accorneros carry on the family tradition with the same passion of their founder: Bartolomeo, born in the first half of the eighteen hundreds. Giulio Accornero, a resourceful and entrepreneurial man, begins the process of vinification of his own grapes in 1957, hinting at the true potential of the Vignale Monferrato area.
Ermanno with Frangesca and Giulia, persist in this direction and choose to focus on quality and to undertake the challenge to produce fine wines, with the upmost respect towards the tradition and their past, but always trying to better themselves with wisdom and foresight.
