Canato Marco

Monferrato Grignolino and Barbera from Piemonte's understated hills.

Canato Marco works the Monferrato hills of Piemonte, where continental climate and clay-rich soils shape wines of structure and restraint. The winery's portfolio centers on two regional grapes: Grignolino, the pale, high-acid red that defines the zone's lighter end, and Barbera, the darker workhorse capable of depth and aging potential. Primo Canato Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese represents the former—a wine that has drawn attention from Decanter and Wine Enthusiast. The Barbera offerings, Rupes and La Baldea, both Superiore designations, sit at the winery's core. These are wines rooted in place: the Monferrato's specific terroir, its traditional varieties, and the discipline required to coax quality from a region less celebrated than its Langhe neighbors to the south.
