Our Story

Collina del Tiglio is a family owned winery in Piedmont, Italy. Our vineyards are located among the medieval towns and castles of Alto-Monferrato.

The 10 hectares of vines, some more than 50 years old, include Chardonnay, Cortese, Dolcetto, Barbera, and Cabernet Franc varietals. Our viniculture philosophy is a blend of personal attention and a modern approach.

Keeping organic principles in mind, Collina del Tiglio tries not to interfere with the natural Piemontese weather patterns and eco-systems. Umberto Lucarno, the winemaker, worked for years

with world renowned oenologist Donato Lanati —

creator of the “Enosis” research centre.  Collina del

Tiglio is unique in this region for making blended

varietal wines, creating an original flavor and palate.

All wines are categorized D.O.C., confirmed by the

Italian Government. D.O.C. determines the grape

varietals, yields and method of production.

The silhouettes of people on swings that

appear on our labels are designed to

convey the openness and joy one would

want to share with a close friend.

This is the feeling we try to instill in our

wine, and hope it is contained in every

glass.

 

The red wine has a female silhouette,

and the white — male. They can stand

on their own, but side by side they

complete each other.

The minimalistic design of these labels

draws attention and makes the wine stand

out. Although it is self sufficient, every

label can be completed by the one who

buys it. By putting one’s individual mark

on the blank canvas of the label, one can

become our co-creator and partner.

The bottle of boutique wine becomes,

in the hands of the buyer, a totally unique

and unrepeatable creation. A simple

signature, time and date of impressions

shared, a heartfelt wish, a drawing or

collage — anything the imagination

suggests — can be used for an original

gift or pleasant memory.
