CASCINA LA ZERBA - VOLPEDO

Following lengthy negotiations, the purchase in 2003 of the Cascina La Zerba di Volpedo represents, for Carlo Volpi, the crowning of all his father’s dreams. Indeed in this very Volpedo,long before obtaining DOC recognition, Barbera was already being produced, an excellent expression of this terrain.

The farmholding contains an old, abandoned, neglected vineyard. The first idea was to eradicate it and start all over again, but on the advice of a friend and oenologist Giuliano Noè, Carlo Volpi changes his mind and decides to restore it, with outstanding results.
Two years later saw the birth of the first Timorasso grapevine – a vine native to the Tortonese territory –with Carlo carefully selecting, together with his trusted oenologist and friend, the most suitable soil to exalt and bring out the organoleptic properties of this ancient vine of the Tortonese hills. Today Cascina La Zerba is the most important vineyard in the whole area of Volpedo.
Today Barbera Superiore Colli Tortonesi DOC and Timorasso Derthona-Colli Tortonesi DOC are produced here. Since 2015 it has been totally converted to ICEA certified organic production.

Moreover it bears testimony to the strong bonds rooted in this territory: as expressed by Carlo Volpi: “t is my dream to give added value to the land to which our wines belong; to promote the historical, artistic and cultural heritage of the Tortonese Hills and of Volpedo in particular , home to our Cascina ‘La Zerba’,with almost 10 hectares of rows of vines, fruit trees, certified organic production and soon, a structure for visitors offering food and wine for whoever wishes to acquaint himself with the the treasures and the beauties which our territory has to propose, starting with one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Volpedo”.
