Vineyards

 

The farmstead Villa Lanata owns 53 hectares of vineyards in the communes of Cossano Belbo and Castino. The better vineyards of Muscatel wine are on the steep hill around the Villa, grown with utmost care as it becomes an Italian garden. The vineyards placed higher up, towards the Sanctuary of the “Madonna della Rovere” produce the “Moscato d’Asti Cardinale Lanata” The Chardonnay vineyards have a very good exposure, high up on the opposite side of the valley, in the territory of Castino.
