Vinicea, short for Vitivinicola Caire e Angelino, is Paolo Angelino and Paola Caire’s estate at Ottiglio in Piedmont’s Monferrato. Certified organic natural wines come from Guyot-trained vines on marl hills known for their underground infernot chambers. The growers associate these soils with firm, distinctive wines.
After studying economics and anthropology, Paolo returned with his brother to the family farm following their father’s death in 1995. Founded in 1792, it covered more than eighty hectares of vineyards, arable land and hazelnuts.
In 2010 Paolo left the partnership with the old cellar and seven hectares of vines, immediately beginning organic conversion. He founded Vinicea with Paola, who had left architecture after the birth of their three children. The vineyard area later grew to twelve hectares.
Their aim is honest wine expressing its origins. Fermentation is spontaneous, without selected yeasts. No gelatin fining or gums are used. Very small doses of sulphur dioxide are added when grapes arrive; the profile reports levels below 35 mg/l at bottling.
Vinicea shares the vision of Evoluzione Naturale. Come and discover their stories and wines.
