The Monferrato — A Land of Gastronomic Excellence
Piedmont · UNESCO World Heritage
The Monferrato: where flavour is born
Hills of vineyards, PGI hazelnuts, medieval castles and one of Italy's richest gastronomic traditions. The land that gives identity to everything we create.
The Land
Acqui Terme and the Alto Monferrato: an ecosystem of excellence
The Monferrato is one of the most extraordinary gastronomic areas in Europe. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with the Langhe and Roero, this hilly land between Asti and Alessandria is home to a concentration of outstanding produce unmatched anywhere in the world.
Acqui Terme, our home, is the heart of the Alto Monferrato: a spa town of Roman origin, set in a landscape of vineyards, hazelnut groves and truffles. This is where Valerio Volpe built his pastry workshop, drawing every day on the extraordinary ingredients this land has to offer.
The Piedmont Hazelnut PGI — the "Tonda Gentile delle Langhe" — grows on the very hills around us. It is the ingredient that defines the flavour of our Baci di Dama and many of our creations.
