The Story

Marcalberto Winery was born and undertaken its artisanal path in the early 1990s guided by Piero Cane, already affirmed winemaker within the national sparkling wine world. Marco and Alberto, the sons to whom the company name is dedicated, follow in the footsteps of their father Piero and today they actively and scrupulously manage all stages of the production process. Another important role in Marcalberto is that of their mother Marina who is the corporate trait d'union. In the heart of the Langa Astigiana they made the perhaps risky choice to specialize in the production of "Metodo Classico" sparkling wines. Their vineyards are located within a maximum of 10 kilometer from the winery pressing center, another fundamental aspect for preserving quality. They have different altitudes ranging from 250 to 620 meters above the sea level, and different exposures, so that they can have a gradual harvest and a great variability of the wines.

The Values

The Marcalberto Method symbolically represents the sum of their peculiarities and stylistic orientation. Since the beginning the company has had a pro-French inspiration that culminated with the purchase of the "Marmonnier" Coquard press, a fundamental tool in order to preserve the soul of the fruit and extract the best part of it. The balance combination of the woods, the vinification with low content of sulphur dioxide and the "old-fashioned" sparkling winemaking methods are the essence of our work. This is the Marcalberto Method.
From the winery
Our small “family-owned” company was born in the hearth of Santo Stefano Belbo and gravitates within a house that breathes affinity with the small maison of some Récoltants in Champagne.
