Winemakers, some of those I have visited and my comments

Here I try to keep up with the wineries I have visited... far from complete.... Azienda Fea Agricola A lovely Winery with a selection of wines made with good taste and love for the craft. Within walking distance from our house in Calosso. If you happen to walk by do not forget to say hi to their lovely dog Zoe.  Wines I personally like to give special mention are: Beatrice - a golden colored white wine. Dry and spicy with hints of flowers, fruit and citrus. It is made on Muscat di Canelli o di Alessandria grapes with an unusual for the grape type 13% alcohol strength.    La Marchisa - is a Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG made with 100% Barbera grapes. An intense ruby red with hints of garnet and the taste of dry, elegant, full body, red wine. A  Barbera d'Asti Superiore  must have  have an alcoholic strength of at least 12.5% by volume, and be aged for at least 14 months, 6 months of which stored in oak or chestnut barrels. Many superiore producers refine it in small oak barriques t
