Govone is situated in the eastern part of the Roero, on the left bank of the Tanaro, at the junction between the Langhe and Roero hills and the Monferrato. The vineyard landscape extends mainly across the hillsides, where varying exposures and altitudes promote gradual ripening of the grapes and a well-defined range of aromatic profiles. The soils, of marine origin and belonging to the younger formations of the Roero, contain sandy, marly, clayey and calcareous components: a combination that ensures good drainage, lightness and a distinct savoury character.
The region is home to Nebbiolo, Arneis, Barbera, Dolcetto and Bonarda, alongside the various wines produced under the Langhe, Roero and Nebbiolo d’Alba appellations. Roero, including the white version made from Arneis, showcases aromatic finesse and freshness, whilst the reds made from Nebbiolo express a complex tannic structure, floral aromas and the potential for ageing. Local tradition combines selective grape harvesting, winemaking techniques designed to bring out the best in the fruit, and carefully balanced ageing in both stainless steel and oak. The presence of the Savoy castle and the area’s historic agricultural heritage complete the identity of a region where heritage, landscape and wine culture coexist harmoniously.
