The story
The company is named after its founder, Giulio Cocchi, a creative pastry chef who in the late 19th century began producing aromatized wines and sparkling wines in Asti. Over time ownership passed to the Bava family, who relaunched and expanded the product range, preserving the historic recipes for vermouth and aromatized wines and developing a sparkling wine production in Alta Langa.
Production philosophy
Preserving and enhancing historic wine-based recipes by combining tradition and innovation. Cocchi focuses on products entirely based on Piedmont wine, original recipes for aromatized products, and a commitment to the quality of the bubbles of Alta Langa.
Terroir and vineyards
