Canelli, Asti 

While completing his degree at the famed Alba School of Oenology, Ignazio Giovine augmented his family’s Sant’Antonio estate with the purchase of carefully selected vineyards in Castellero. With five years of experimentation and fine-tuning, Ignazio launched L’Armangia in 1993, supplementing the range in 1995 with benchmark Barbera and Moscato d’Asti. Although he has some of Piedmont’s oldest Chardonnay vines, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, and the autochthonous, Nebbiolo, Freisa and Albarossa, it is for his Moscato and Barbera that Ignazio is most esteemed.

Piemonte

Canelli, Asti 

While completing his degree at the famed Alba School of Oenology, Ignazio Giovine augmented his family’s Sant’Antonio estate with the purchase of carefully selected vineyards in Castellero. With five years of experimentation and fine-tuning, Ignazio launched L’Armangia in 1993, supplementing the range in 1995 with benchmark Barbera and Moscato d’Asti. Although he has some of Piedmont’s oldest Chardonnay vines, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, and the autochthonous, Nebbiolo, Freisa and Albarossa, it is for his Moscato and Barbera that Ignazio is most esteemed.

The vineyards are managed directly by Ignazio and have always been tended in a low-impact manner.Grass is encouraged between the rows and copper and sulphur are preferred to synthetic treatments, with fertiliser being restricted to only the most unyielding soils, and then only to the use of manure. Like any quality producer, the work in the vineyard is laboriously undertaken in the quest for healthy, balanced fruit.

In the winery, again strictly managed by Ignazio, methods are simple, with an emphasis placed on purity. Fermentation generally takes place in a mixture of stainless steel tanks and large-format oak, with maturation in oak of varied sizes and ages.
