Cascina Garitina is a family run estate fonded last century in 1900. Barbera is our most important wine and it's produced exclusively from our best located estate owned vineyards. During the last few years, all our efforts have been aimed at increasing the quality of grapes (short pruning, green harvest, controlled grass growth in the vineyards) in order to obtain grapes with a higher concentration and wines with a well defined structure, respecting the tipycal characteristics which our "terroir" instills into our products.

Our wineyards are located at an altitude of 240-300 metres a.s.l in the heart of the High Monferrato area, in soils which are rich in clay and have a small percentage of lime and sand. Today our vineyards cover a surface of 23,50 hectares: 70% Barbera and the rest divided among Dolcetto, Pinot Nero, Brachetto, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Our family takes care of the entire production cycle: the manual work in the vineyards, and the attentive dedicated to the wines in the cellar guarantee the quality of our wines and their perfect evolution in the bottle.

The wineyards of the Azienda Agricola Cascina Garitina are extended on the gentles hills of Alto Monferrato in deep and generous lands until 300 m. above the sea level: 13 hectares in the hills of the borough of Castel Boglione, 10,50 hectares on directly management in Castelnuovo Calcea, San Marzano Oliveto, Calamandrana. The climate is Mediterranean with a slight continental influx, especially in the Winter. During the entire vegetative cycle of the vine, the main factor is the constant southerly wind, known as the "Marin" (sea wind").
