Accornero

For more than a century, the Accornero family has played a defining role in the wines of Monferrato. Based in Vignale Monferrato since 1897, the estate is celebrated for preserving Piedmont’s native grape varieties, particularly Grignolino, while producing wines that combine authenticity, elegance and a strong sense of place.

The Estate

The story began when Bartolomeo Accornero acquired Cascina Ca’ Cima in 1897. Six generations later, the family continues to farm the same historic hillsides overlooking Monferrato. Today, Accornero is widely regarded as one of the region’s benchmark producers and a leading ambassador for its indigenous varieties.

Vineyards and Terroir

The vineyards lie within the UNESCO-listed landscapes of Monferrato, where rolling hills, limestone-rich clay soils and a moderate continental climate create ideal conditions for quality viticulture. These terroirs provide freshness, structure and aromatic complexity to varieties such as Grignolino, Barbera, Ruchè, Nebbiolo and Timorasso.

Winemaking

The estate combines traditional Piedmontese practices with modern precision. Each variety is vinified according to its character, using stainless steel, large oak casks and extended ageing where appropriate. The objective is to preserve varietal identity while allowing the distinctive character of each vineyard parcel to emerge.

Wine Style

Accornero wines are defined by balance, freshness and regional authenticity. Grignolino delivers lifted floral aromatics, spice and finesse, while Barbera offers vibrant fruit, energy and structure. Across the range, the wines reflect Monferrato’s distinctive terroir and the family’s long commitment to native varieties.
