Azienda Agricola Schiavenza

The estate began as a family business rooted in Serralunga d’Alba: the original core was purchased by the great-grandfather in the 1920s and the first label dates to 1956, the year construction of the winery also began. In the 1990s management expanded with the entry of new generations, and the estate progressively enlarged its vineyards and modernized the winery while retaining traditional methods. Since 1997 the business has also included a trattoria/agriturismo that showcases the estate’s products.

The winery adopts an approach that prioritizes soil health and terroir expression: low-impact practices, hand-harvesting, and winemaking focused on expressing the terroir rather than on oenological manipulation. Concrete tanks are used for fermentation and Slavonian oak barrels for aging in the traditional styles.

The vineyards extend between Serralunga d’Alba and Monforte d’Alba in the Langhe: soils of the Lequio formation in Serralunga and sandier soils of Diano origin in Perno. Many crus are east/southeast-facing; the vineyards used for the Langhe Nebbiolo lie between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, with individual parcels such as Broglio and Cerretta.
