Tenuta Il Falchetto

From the top of one of the gentle hills that characterise the landscape around Santo Stefano Belbo, Cascina Forno - nicknamed Tenuta Il Falchetto - surveys the vineyards from above.

The Forno family has been in this area since the mid-17th-century, and since 1940 they have been producing wine, primarily Moscato d’Asti and Barbera. The 70s saw a refurbishment of the winery and the introduction of state-of-the-art equipment for processing the grapes and fermentation, always with maximum respect for tradition and the land.

Today many of the production processes are still carried out by hand, in order to guarantee the selection of the ripest grapes, perfect for making characterful wines. The winery is on the Strada Astesana wine route dedicated to Moscato di Canelli.
