Silvio Laiolo's AZIENDA VITIVINICOLA PIANCANELLI is surrounded by the green sea of hills representing Piedmont’s wine making pride.

His wine making is respectful of the ancient tradition from Asti and his country. His savy care gives rise to noble and precious offspring of his grapewines.

The farm and the vineyards are situated at 400 metres of height in a hilly area at a medium slope, where often the wind coming from the sea of the near Liguria blows to exalt the grapes characteristics.

 The farm is situated on a surface of 30 hectares and is menaged by the family, integrated only in part with workers specialized in viticulture field, so there is a severe and careful control of quality; all products are produced with the use of grapes wholly coming from semi-biological cultivation; indeed, the firm follows, for several years, an E.C. plan (E.C. regulation 2078/92) which provides a considerable and aimed reduction of the antiparasitic products to obtain a better quality of grapes.

Since 1998 for the transformation, the adhesion to the self-control plan HACCP (Hazard Analysis Control Critical Point) assures the hygienic safety and the best conditions of the product for all aspects. This plan consists of an analysis method to identify some risks for consumer's health and to single out the most opportune way of prevention.

Our farm requires the best also from the products that surround the wine to make global the quality concept. In fact, all our bottles are of anti-UVAG glasses (anti-ultraviolet rays), to avoid the possible alterations of the product; our corks are of very good Sardinian cork, which is certified and sterilised with ozone, and the packages are of triple layer carton to obtain a good heat insulation of our bottles, improving the wine conservation.
