About this Event

Take a virtual journey with us to the heart of Asti, Piedmont to learn of the "art" of traditional Barbera wine-making methods, and taste the most beautiful reflection of its fruits.

Established in 1900, Cascina Garitina is a family winery in its fourth generation. The company name comes from Gianluca Morino’s great-grandmother Margaret, whose nickname, Garitina, is Piemontese dialect for “Daisy”.

Garitina's vineyards are located in the heart of the Monferrato. Gianluca has been working continuously on improving vineyard management by combining the experience of the past with modern production techniques. His goal is to obtain intact grapes and wines that mirror the territory.

Passion for the land, manual cultivation of vineyards and painstaking care in the cellar are only some of the aspects behind the quality of Garitina wines, providing the basis for optimal evolution in the bottle.

With Mr. Gianluca Morino, we will taste:

Barbara d’Asti Bricco Garrita

Barbera d’Asti Villalta

Brachetto Niades

Local attendees receive a FREE premium wine tasting of wines! You only pay for the presentation, packaging, and handling. Choose your desired ticket, enter your preferred pick up location if required, and we will take care of the rest! Enjoy a great and safe evening at home!
