CASCINA FIORI
Township of Trezzo Tinella – 2.95 ha
Cascina Fiori is located in a village of the
same name in the township of Trezzo Tinella at
380 MASL. Here, Moscato Bianco is cultivated.
This area is one of the highest in elevation
for cultivating vines for Moscato d’Asti DOCG,
leading to one of the variety’s latest
harvests. Here, Moscato grows in a fresher and
better ventilated microclimate compared to
other zones of its production, helping it
develop and exalt its aromas. The soil is
marly, with fine clay and limestone. In some
areas, it looks white.
The marl is particularly compact, and in some
points presents itself in flat formations,
almost polished from erosion, making it very
useful for constructing dry stone walls. In
fact, in the Fiori village, many walls are
made from this “Langhe stone,” defining the
boundaries of properties and vineyards.
Farmhouses of the zone have what are called
infernotti, or cellars excavated directly in
the rock, and outdoor tiles were once all made
from Langhe stone extracted from the area.
