Cantine

Giulio Cocchi was a creative, open-minded pastry chef from Florence who, in the late nineteenth century, moved to Asti. In 1891 Giulio Cocchi opened  his own business in Asti as a distiller and sparkling wine maker. He was able to offer a range of special aromatized wine and some of the first bottle fermented sparkling wines, including the now world famous Asti DOCG. In Particular, Barolo Chinato, his Aperitivo Americano and a few different Vermouths became well known and very successful quite soon. Since 1978, the Bava Family, themselves highly renowned wine producers in Asti and Langhe, has been running the winery. Updates the the production process created the base of today’s cult following for the brand.
