Mandirola

Mandirola

Mandirola is a family farm in Casasco, in the Colli Tortonesi hills of south-east Piemonte, about 46 km from the sea. Enrico Mandirola's great-grandfather bought a historic farm here in 1913, when it covered 10 to 12 hectares of vines, wheat and corn. Today the estate covers about 30 hectares, 11 of them in vines at 300 to 350 metres, facing south-east and south-west on calcareous clay soils, and the family is in its fourth generation. Enrico joined in the late 1990s with training in agronomy and oenology. The vineyards follow integrated pest management with SQNPI certification and are harvested by hand. Timorasso is the focus, alongside Barbera, Croatina and a Timorasso metodo classico.
