Grazzano Badoglio
Capretto Renato
A family winery in Grazzano since the early 1800s: Grignolino, Barbera and metodo classico sparkling wine.
The restaurant
Menu
Homemade Piedmontese cooking: pasta rolled by hand, local meat, and the long, slow cooking the classics demand. The menu changes every month with the seasons, but the Piedmontese classics never leave it.

A few minutes from Moncalvo, in the heart of Monferrato
Your lunch break, Piedmont style. Monday to Friday (we are closed on Tuesdays), a fixed-price lunch menu for people at work: dishes from our menu, homemade as always, served unhurried under the farmhouse's brick vaults.
12:00 to 14:30. No need to book, but if you call us we'll keep a table for you. For today's dishes and the price, ask in the dining room or give us a call.

Wineries we know personally
We are in the Astigiano Monferrato, the land of Barbera, Grignolino and Ruché, a few kilometres from hills that have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014. Our wine list is short and built on people: we choose each label with the people who make it, just a few kilometres from here.
