MonteStregone

MonteStregone is a small winery located in Acqui Terme, in the province of Alessandria, within the southern reaches of the Barbera d'Asti DOCG. The project was founded by two Piedmontese winemaker friends, Alessandro Gallo and Roberto Orsi, who produce three wines from the territory.

The winery takes its name from Monte Stregone, a hill above Acqui Terme that carries an old local legend: it was said to be a meeting place for witches, and the folk belief held that not even vines could grow there. The name is a deliberate nod to the unlikely, place-driven character of the wines.

Barbera is the primary vine variety of the Monferrato area. MonteStregone plants it on open, sun-exposed hillsides, as the variety requires warm temperatures and well-draining soils. The Strja is produced from 100% Barbera grapes, vinified to express the variety's natural fruit character and acidity rather than to add oak-derived complexity.
