Meet the Winemaker - Claudio Icardi

You are welcome to join us as we taste through a sample of the delicious wines made by the Icardi with winemaker Claudio Icardi.

Azienda Agricola Icardi, established in 1914 and headquartered in Castiglione Tinella, is located at the boundary between two renowned vineyard terroirs – Langa and Monferrato. Today, the winery is overseen by the bother/sister team of Claudio and Mariagrazia Icardi. They join their father, who began producing his own wine from the estate, instead of selling it off to other producers, in the early 1960s. Chemicals have never caught on here, and they stick to organic and biodynamic wine making techniques.

"Our wine production philosophy comes from the vineyard", Claudio Icardi states. "Our wines are produced by means of organic and biodynamic systems. Our production requires special care and attention, together with respectful compliance with nature and its cycles, and climate and weather conditions."
