Wanting to taste typical Piedmontese wines is the perfect excuse to enjoy a visit to a wine cellar in the Monferrato or Langhe regions.

The experience becomes all the more engaging in the Bava wine cellar: during the visit, the history, culture and traditions that have accompanied our family for over 110 harvests are vividly recounted.

It is precisely to celebrate such a long history that we want to present to you our recently renovated wine cellar with a completely updated concept.

We like to imagine that the tour is a time machine, ready to transport you back through the decades inside our historic wine cellar in Cocconato, revealing along the way tales and points of interest, from the foundation of Cantina Bava up to the present day.

The visit to the wine cellar

The wine cellar is the soul of our winery in the hills of Piedmont. The visit begins in the modern area where the steel fermentation tanks are located, and where it is also possible to browse some of the historical wine tasting menus that our family has proposed over the decades in various countries around the world .

In the next room you find the most important wines of our production, such as the Barbera Superiore Stradivario.

The old cement fermentation tanks, now in disuse, follow on which are accompanied by a collection of bottles, images of bygone days and labels from the past, which help to complete the story of the wines that can then be savoured during the tasting.
