A Hidden Wine Haven in the Heart of Monferrato

In the gentle hills of Ottiglio — a tranquil village where life still moves to the ancient rhythms of the land — this historic property awaits those who dream of a life among vineyards and timeless brick cellars.

Here, you are a breath away from the smallest city in Italy, Moncalvo — a jewel so cherished that Queen Margherita herself granted it city status. In less than ten minutes, you’ll find lively shops and family-run trattorias, yet at home, silence reigns behind your great ancient gate.

Pass beneath that gate and you step into a secluded courtyard, unseen by the world, embraced by old walls and soft rolling hills beyond. To your left, a stone stairway leads to a charming guest apartment — one room with its own kitchen, a bathroom with shower, and a balcony that opens to views of vineyards and the ever-changing light of Monferrato. Below, the vaulted wine cellar could become a unique living space, an artist’s studio, or simply a sanctuary for your finest bottles.

The main house welcomes you with a spacious country kitchen and two cozy living rooms on the ground floor. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms and two bathrooms — sunlit spaces that invite you to reimagine and restore. This is a house with solid bones and a warm heart — yes, it needs your eye for beauty and a touch of care, but the potential is extraordinary.

Beyond the courtyard, you’ll find a peaceful garden shaded by old trees, storage rooms, and the crown jewel: an ancient ‘Infernot’ — the traditional Monferrato wine cellar cut deep into the earth, where bottles rest undisturbed through the changing seasons.

Parking is plentiful — a private garage within the courtyard, room for guests, and ample space just outside the gate. The town itself offers the essentials — a pharmacy, a restaurant, a beer garden for evenings among friends — but the real luxury here is the quiet and the sense that time slows down when you enter these walls.

It is a house of wine — crafted by winegrowers, surrounded by wine country, and made for those who wish to savor life, bottle by bottle. It stands ready for a new chapter. Bring your vision, your passion, and your plans. In Ottiglio, you will find the promise of Piemonte: peaceful, authentic, and forever rooted in the vines.
