Barbera d’Asti DOCG Bio La Tosta Ca ‘ d Tantin

The Organic Winery:

Ca’d Tantin (pronounced Ca Tanten, which in the piedmontese dialect means “The house of Costantino”) is composed by Andrea, his brother Marco, their mother Vanna and their father  Costantino named as his father and his grandfather before him.

They have been making wine for over 140 years The great grandfather Costantino already cultivated the land which the young brothers still cultivate.

” The wine we make has always been for drinking between us, with friends, and for whoever wishes for it. That’s why we want our wine to be organic, no chemicals in the vineyard or the cantina, no added sulphites beyond those naturally found in the grapes. We let the grass grow in the rows and from time to time we cut them with the mower: no weedkillers which pollute the ground and inevitably end up in the wine itself.”

Almost everything at Ca’d Tantin is done by hand or with the help of only hoes and secateurs. For example, some weeks before the harvest we go along the rows and thin out the grapes by hand, leaving only the healthiest and best bunches, so that when ripe they are at their peak, improving the organoleptic characteristics of the wine: every vintage has its own distinct organoloeptic characteristics. Some of our vines are very old, planted by our grandfather more than 60 years ago they still succeed to give us outstanding vintages. But we haven’t stopped there: thanks to the photovoltaic system installed in 2010 we have reduced the energy expenditure on the house and the cantina- and as a result our atmospheric CO2 emission. So… we do and we will continue to do everything we can to be OK and to make you feel OK too!
