Manufacturer

Excellent winemakers from the region of Piemonte, northern Italy. Produttori di Govone is a consortium  with a clear idea  for the production of wine, which represents the main wine-growing area.La Cantina Sociale di Govone  was founded in 1957, from the idea of ​​Giovanni Dalmasso, a prominent figure in  winemaking, who  is the true expression of a clear  idea of ​​strengthening the hills of the Langhe region, capable of producing very high quality wines from grapes. The winemakers at the time, led by Vittorio Caude, understood the importance of this connection and began to defend the real value of the grapes from the market.Approximately 250 current members  they give their grapes from different places of Langa Asti and Alba and  they represent the real engine of Produttori di Govone.

Govone producers have always dedicated  attention to changes in the market, where there are three properties that are different from each other : the point of sale, representing the basis and reconstruction in the 90s, the marriage of wine and food  and of course emphasis on the quality of the product.In the first years of the new century , the producers of Govone took a collaborative perspective: after the merger with Cantina Sociale di Portacomaro, they started a partnership with Cantina Sociale di Valtiglione, which sells the products. the growth of Barbera. The producers of Govone and Barbera have a strong bond that they brought from the cellar of the main producers such as Barbera d'Alba DOC. The market recognizes the quality of wine signed by the winery, which offers not only in  Italy, as well as abroad, in Denmark, the USA, China, Poland and Germany. Equilibrium between quality and price in the various production lines suggested a division into exposures of vineyards, selection of grapes, compliance with the taste of wine and the improvement of wine regions, from which  individual members of the consortium come from.
