Castello di Tassarolo is a historic winery in Gavi, Piedmont, run by Massimiliana Spinola, whose family has been making wine there since the 14th century. The estate spans 17 hectares, cultivating Cortese di Gavi, Barbera, and Cabernet Sauvignon with a strong commitment to biodynamic farming, which they adopted in 2006 to respect nature and the environment.

A pioneer in sustainable viticulture, Massimiliana’s former partner, Henry Constantinou (heavily inspired by teachings of Rudolf Steiner, the father of biodynamics) introduced heavy horses for vineyard work, helping develop biodynamic methods without machinery. The winery also specializes in sulfur-free white wines, crafted with enologist Vincenzo Muni, proving that healthy soils and grapes are key to natural winemaking.

The grapes are hand-harvested in small crates (maximum of 19 kg) in order to keep the grapes as intact as possible. The grapes are then immediately pressed in a pneumatic press, and the best part of the must is transferred to temperature-controlled vats for the start of the alcoholic fermentation, using only indigenous yeast.
