The L’Armangia winery has a long and storied history, dating back to 1850, when winemaking first began on their estate in Canelli, a renowned winemaking region in Piedmont and now a DOCG appellation for the Moscato d'Asti. Over the years, the winery has grown in prestige and is now recognized as one of the top producers in the area, particularly for its exceptional Barbera d’Asti wines and Moscato d’Asti. With a deep respect for tradition and an unwavering commitment to quality, L’Armangia continues to produce wines that truly reflect the unique terroir of this historic region.
At the heart of the winery is Ignazio, the owner and winemaker, whose passion for viticulture goes beyond conventional winemaking. He approaches his vineyards with an almost paternal devotion, knowing his grapes as intimately as if they were his own children. He understands their potential, their strengths, and how best to nurture them to create wines of remarkable depth and character. Among all the varietals he cultivates, he holds a firm belief in the excellence of the Barbera d’Asti grape, dedicating significant effort to crafting wines that showcase its full potential.
In addition to Barbera d’Asti, Ignazio also grow other grapes, cultivating a range of varieties that thrive in the area. He grows Albarossa, a lesser known but intriguing native Piedmontese grape, alongside internationally recognized varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. His dedication to experimentation and quality is further evident in a small, carefully tended vineyard of Pinot Nero, from which he produces a wine of exceptional finesse and complexity- one that stands out as a hidden gem in his portfolio.
L’Armangia’s winemaking philosophy is rooted in tradition, but it is also forward thinking. Every step of the process, from vineyard management to fermentation and aging, is carried out with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that each wine is an authentic and high quality expression of the land. Through passion, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, Ignazio continues to uphold the legacy of L’Armangia, creating wines that not only honor their rich history but also push the boundaries of what Canelli and the surrounding region can offer.
