The Slopes: Nature, Inspiration and Awareness
Uncompromising wines from the hills of Acqui Terme
Our Philosophy
Founded in 2020 from Enrico's idea, I Versanti pursues an ambitious goal: to bring a healthy product to the glass, combining the pristine power of nature with human creativity. We believe in conscious agriculture that embraces biodynamic principles, respecting the earth's life cycle to create wines that inspire emotion.
The Territory and the Vineyards
We cultivate just over three hectares of vineyards, nestled in the hills of Acqui Terme at about 400 meters above sea level. It's a challenging but generous terroir, characterized by:
• Extreme slopes: Over 30%, requiring heroic, manual viticulture.
• Unique terroir: Sandy-calcareous soils that give finesse and character.
• Native varieties: Brachetto, Dolcetto, Moscato and Barbera.
In the Cellar: The Art of Microvinification
Every single parcel on our slopes is treated as unique. Our production focuses almost entirely on microvinifications, designed to bring out the full potential of each grape variety.
Our commitment to quality:
• Low yields to concentrate aromas and structure.
• Spontaneous fermentations to preserve the fruit's identity.
• Minimal added sulphites (<15/20 mg/l So2 total) for a pure and authentic wine.
From the Vine to the Glass
From winter pruning to harvesting the golden bunches, every step is aimed at creating a wine that is not just a drink, but a pure sensory experience.
