Tasting Notes

Our Langhe Arneis is a crisp and easy-to-enjoy example of this classic “Piemontese” varietal. Beautifully balanced and very distinct in character, this is an elegant style of fruity white wine, which is medium bodied, supple on the palate and long on the finish. Tastes of lemon peel, peach, pineapple, honey.

Winery Notes

Following Alberto (class of 1892 who ran an inn near Turin) an early Pioneer of Francone wines in Piemonte, Giovanni Battista took the company over from his mother Teresa and began making wine in 1940. In Neive, in 1964, Giovanni Battista and his sons Mauro and Silvano fulfilled their dream of building an imposing new winery, where the company is still based today. Their pioneering idea was to offer hospitality to the first curious tourists starting to arrive unaware of the potential of this emerging winemaking district. 

Today the Winery continues to pursue this successful strategy focusing on its hospitality activities, undertaken directly by members of the family, as well as direct sales to wine shops, restaurants and distributors throughout the world. Our passion for winemaking and wine has been handed down from generation to generation, and the family and the region’s history is now displayed in the winery’s museum in the form of old unique artefacts, utensils and tools used to turn grapes into wine. This will be were your visit begins.

Today brothers Marco and Fabrizio Francone, with the invaluable help of dad Mauro, manage the vineyards and the winery.
