Abandoned for five years.
This vineyard had been left untouched, without care and maintenance.

Across Piemonte, vineyard abandonment does happen — often in small, fragmented plots where the work becomes too difficult to sustain. It’s not always visible, but it’s part of the reality of farming this landscape.

For us, sustainability isn’t about holding onto something just because it’s old.

It’s about knowing when to preserve — and when to begin again.

You don’t get this everywhere.
Costigliole d’Asti, Piemonte.

This landscape shapes everything — the way we grow, the way we make wine, and the way we live with it.

It’s not just where we are. It’s why we do things the way we do.

What a weekend to remember. 🇳🇱

A big thank you to everyone at Kerck Delicatessen who brought this weekend to life — celebrating Piemonte through food and wine.

It was fabulous being part of such a wonderful gathering and a great reminder of why we make wine in the first place — to be shared, to connect, and to bring people together, wherever they are in the world. 🍷

Here’s to more moments like this.

The season has started earlier than expected.

Budburst has arrived early here in Piemonte — something we’re seeing more frequently with shifting seasonal patterns. Warmer late winters and early spring temperatures are accelerating the vine’s natural cycle.

While early growth can suggest an earlier harvest, it also brings increased vulnerability. Young shoots are highly sensitive to temperature drops, and even without frost forecasted, the unpredictability of these conditions is one of the greatest challenges in modern viticulture.

For us, sustainability isn’t a concept — it’s a constant response. It means observing more closely, intervening less, and adapting to what each season gives us rather than forcing consistency.

Climate change in the vineyard doesn’t always arrive as extremes. Often, it’s subtle — a shift in timing, in balance, in rhythm.

This is where every vintage begins. And every year, it asks something different of us.

Searching for your perfect lunch time wine? You’ve just found it.

Our Dolcetto — bursting with wild berries, ripe cherries and a whisper of spice, is that perfect in-between wine.

Here in Piemonte we love drinking it slightly chilled over lunch or as an aperitivo. Fresh, vibrant, dangerously easy to drink. Think long lunches, picnics and relaxing with glass in hand while watching the sunset at the end of a warm spring day…

Made from the heart of our land in Costigliole d’Asti — and made for right now.

Open it, share it, and let the afternoon linger 🍷

And now you can buy direct from our cellar to your door. Link below 👇

POV: You’ve just found your spring wine 🌸

We love a spring wine… especially for long lunches, warm evenings in the garden, and picnics between the vines.

Our new Rosato is perfect…
Light, luminous, and quietly irresistible.

This is not just a wine for spring.
It’s the wine of spring.

Consider this your sign to have a bottle chilling, always. And we can deliver to your door from our cellar. Link below 👇

There is something beautifully honest about an unoaked wine.

In Italy, unoaked reds are those that haven’t been shaped by oak — no barrique, no heavy intervention — just grape, land, and time. This is how wine was made for generations. Fresh, vibrant, and deeply connected to everyday life.

Here in Piemonte, this style is part of who we are. It’s the wine of long lunches, of tajarin with ragù, of simple bruschetta on the terrace.

That’s why being part of Decanter’s blind tasting of Unoaked Italian Reds feels so meaningful to us. To see our Dolcetto recognised with 90 points is something we hold with both pride and humility.

Dolcetto is often overlooked, but it is one of Piemonte’s most historic grapes — resilient, native, and perfectly adapted to our land. In a world looking toward sustainability, we believe wines like Dolcetto are not just part of our past, but essential to our future.

This is the wine we drink. This is the wine we believe in.

Not everything we grow… we keep.

Some vines have given us decades of stories. And yet, there comes a moment when letting go is part of caring for what comes next.

This is that moment.
We remove, not to erase… but to make space.
To plant again. To begin again.

With native varieties that belong here — grapes that understand this land, this climate, this rhythm. A quieter kind of resilience. A more sustainable future, growing from the past.

Because evolution in the vineyard isn’t a disruption… it’s a continuation.

What was, makes way for what will be. 🌱

Spring has arrived in the glass 🌸

Our Rosato Delicato is here. Crafted from Dolcetto, reimagined in its lightest, most elegant form. Soft blush in colour, delicate in structure, gentle red berry notes and a touch of vibrancy.

It’s the wine for long lunches that turn into golden evenings. Perfect for the first warm days and for slowing down with friends and family.

From our vineyard to your table - this is Spring, bottled. And you can order from our cellar below 👇

We’d love to know… where would you open your first Rosato Delicato? 🍷

#piemontewine #rosatowine #wine #italianwine #italy

Two Rosati. Two Expressions. Now over to you!

Same land. Same hands. Two completely different stories in the glass. We created two Rosati from two very different grapes: Dolcetto and Barbera.

One is soft, rounded, quietly elegant. The other brighter, more vibrant, with a little more edge.

This is our experiment — not just in winemaking, but in listening. Because wine doesn’t end with us. It evolves with you.

So now, it’s over to you…
Which one speaks to you? And more importantly — why?

Tell us what you taste, what you feel, what you’d pour it with. Your voice helps shape what comes next.

And you can order you Rosato direct from our cellar and we will deliver it to your door. Link is below 👇 in comments.

Our Dolcetto Rosato is here — and this one feels special.

This is our way of sharing spring as we see it: fresh, vibrant, quietly expressive. A wine that doesn’t try too hard — it just is.

Crafted from Dolcetto, it carries that signature softness - rounded, approachable, and effortlessly drinkable, with just enough brightness to keep things interesting.

We’re proud of this chapter in our story. And even more excited to share it with you. You can now order directly from our cellar, link below 👇— from our hands to your table, delivered to your door.

Because wine is always better when it’s shared, simply.

90 Decanter Points for our DOLCETTO.

To be awarded 90 points by Decanter in the Unoaked Italian Reds panel tasting is an honour and proud moment for our Tenuta Il Finale team. But what it really represents… is everything behind the glass.

The early mornings in the vineyard. The quiet decisions that shape each vintage. The respect for our land, our grapes, and the way things have always been done here in Piemonte.

Because unoaked wine leaves nowhere to hide. It’s pure. Honest. A direct expression of place.

And that’s exactly what we set out to create.

This recognition isn’t just ours. It also belongs to you. You choose our wines, pour them at your tables, sharing with friends and family, and believe in what we’re building.

Thank you for being part of this journey. ❤️🍷

We’re still at the beginning. But moments like this remind us… we’re on the right path.

Grazie — truly ❤️🍷

There are moments you quietly work towards… and then there are moments that stop you in your tracks.

Being featured in Decanter is one of them.

We’re a small team, building Tenuta Il Finale one season, one conversation, one glass at a time, so to see our story shared on a global stage feels both humbling and deeply meaningful.

This has never just been about wine for us. It’s about where we are. Who we’ve met. What we’re building.

Piemonte has a way of slowing you down… of bringing people to the table and keeping them there. A place where wine isn’t just poured - it’s shared, debated, laughed over, remembered.

That’s what we hope comes through in this piece.

That our wines are an invitation. To discover native Piemonte varieties. To sit longer at the table. To come here, one day, and experience it for yourself.

To everyone who has supported us so far - thank you.
 And to those discovering us through Decanter, benvenuti. We can’t wait to share a glass with you.

Our vine watch this week is magical. This is the moment the vintage is born.
 Budburst marks the true beginning of the wine year. As temperatures rise, the vine pushes sap back through its system, and these first green tips emerge—fragile, vibrant, full of energy.

From here, everything depends on balance. Sunlight, temperature, water, timing.
Get it right, and the vine will thrive. Get it wrong, and the season becomes a challenge.

That’s why spring demands our full attention. It’s a period of constant observation. We are reading the vineyard, responding to nature, guiding where we can and respecting what we can’t control.

Months from now, these shoots will carry fruit. But today, they carry possibility. And that’s what makes this season so special.
.

#italy #italianwine #vinewatch #winelove #piemontewine

Terroir isn’t just a word. It’s the story beneath our feet.

In Costigliole d’Asti, that story began millions of years ago, when these hills were still under the sea. As the waters receded, they left behind layers of limestone, clay, and marine sediments - soils that still define how our vines grow and how our wines taste today.

At Tenuta Il Finale, we work with three distinct terroirs, all within the same landscape, yet each shaping the vine in its own way. Limestone brings tension and freshness, clay adds depth and structure, and the slopes and exposures guide ripeness and aromatics. The same grape, grown in each site, tells a different story.

Over time, it became clear that the land already knew what worked best here. That’s why we focus on native varieties - Barbera, Nebbiolo, Arneis - grapes that have adapted to these conditions over centuries. By growing what belongs, we farm more sustainably, intervene less, and allow each vineyard to express itself with clarity.

Everything we do begins with the land and returns to it. From soil to vine to glass, each bottle carries the imprint of where it was grown - its history, its character, its place.

🍷 Each wine is a reflection and expression of the land it comes from.

#Terroir #PiemonteWine #italy #italianwine #piemonte

If you think Bonet is just a winter dessert - you’re missing out!

In Piemonte, we don’t wait for a season to eat this. Bonet is year-round. Always has been. Because it’s not heavy in the way people expect.
 Yes—there’s chocolate. Yes—caramel.
 But there’s also that quiet bitterness from cocoa and amaretti that keeps it in balance. It leaves space for another bite… and another sip.

In Piemonte we don’t pair it with something sweet.
We pour Dolcetto—slightly chilled.

Dark cherry. A soft almond note. Almost no tannin. It cuts through the richness, lifts the chocolate, and sharpens every flavour on the plate.

It turns Bonet from dessert… into part of the conversation.

This is how we finish a table at Tenuta Il Finale. Come try it for yourself.
See you in Piemonte 🍷

This is where every great wine starts… and it only lasts a few days.

The first buds on the vines. The trees in blossom. The vineyard waking up after months of stillness. This is where the vintage truly begins.

Spring sets the rhythm for everything that follows. The balance, the yield, the story in your glass. It’s a fleeting moment. Miss it, and you miss the beginning of the wine itself.

This is why people fall in love with Piemonte in spring… not just for how it looks, but for what it means.

Come and see it for yourself. Walk the rows with us, breathe it in, and witness the very first chapter of the vintage unfold.

We made two Rosati… this is what we think about the Dolcetto.

We made two Rosati this year.
Same land. Same vintage.
But they’ve taken very different paths.

This one, our Dolcetto Rosato has a little more behind it.

More fruit. More texture.
It holds your attention a bit longer.

It’s always interesting to see how the same place can express itself in completely different ways.

Now they’re both bottled. Both ready. And we’re just as curious as you are which one people will reach for first?

Stay close as our Rosati will be coming to your Spring tables very soon!

Most people think wine begins at harvest. It doesn’t. It starts now.

Right now the vineyard looks like this - wildflowers between the rows, the first real warmth on your skin.

It feels calm. But this is where everything is decided.

Spring is where we make calls that shape the entire vintage - how much do we intervene, how much to trust, how much to leave alone?

You won’t see that in a glass. But it’s there.

This is our favourite time of year for a reason. Not because it’s easy…but because it matters.

If you’ve ever wanted to understand what wine really is before it becomes wine - come and walk the rows with us.

Because in a few weeks, this moment will already gone.

Do you dream of picking grapes in Italy? 🍇

At Tenuta Il Finale, every grape is hand-picked by people who know our land like family. Year after year, the same hands return, learning every vine, every cluster, every subtle story the vineyard tells. It’s this care and attention that turns grapes into wines full of place, passion, and patience.

The connection between land, people and wine is part of our philosophy and the best part? You don’t just have to watch from afar. Walk our rows, feel the sun on your back, and pick a grape or two yourself—come be part of the harvest, and taste what hands, hearts, and soil can create together.

Is Piemonte on your holiday list this year? We hope to see you soon.

#italianwine #wine #piemonte #italy #winelove

Sustainability isn’t a choice for us. It’s how wine has always been made here.

In Piemonte, rosato was never created as a “style.” It came from a simple, practical moment during red winemaking — when a small amount of juice is gently drawn off early in the process.

Nothing added. Nothing wasted. Just a natural way to bring balance to the wine. That juice becomes rosato — fresh, structured, and deeply connected to the craft.

For our first release, we’ve stayed true to place. Made only from Barbera and Dolcetto — the grapes that belong to these hills. They thrive in our soils, which means: less water, fewer treatments, and minimal intervention in the vineyard.

This is sustainability, the way it should be — not imposed, but inherent.

A new wine for us, but a story that has always existed here.

Our Rosato. Spring, bottled.

An unforgettable evening celebrating the beauty of aged Italian wine. 🍷

This week in London, we had the privilege of attending a remarkable tasting of aged Brunello di Montalcino, hosted by the wonderful team at the Liberation Tardive Foundation at Zafferano Restaurant.

The evening explored the evolution of Brunello from 1995 onwards, presented by three exceptional wineries and guided by Dominic Buckwell, whose passion for wines reaching their full potential is truly inspiring.

Among the guests were some of the most respected voices in the wine world, including Jancis Robinson, leading Italian wine importers, and Decanter’s Italian editor — a room filled with people who truly understand the story behind great wine.

We felt genuinely grateful to be part of such a meaningful evening. As one of the early supporters of the Liberation Tardive Foundation, it was special to see its mission shared with such an influential audience.

In Piemonte, we understand that patience is part of the craft. Great wines are never rushed — they evolve, deepen, and reveal their character over time.

A heartfelt thank you to the Liberation Tardive Foundation for a memorable evening dedicated to the art of wine ageing and the stories that only time can tell.

Some dishes tell the story of a place in a single bite. Flan Piemontese with cheese fonduta is one of them.

A soft savoury custard made from seasonal vegetables, eggs, cream and Parmigiano, baked slowly until delicate and silky. It is then finished with a warm cheese fonduta, creating the rich and comforting flavours that define our traditional Piemonte cuisine.

The dish was born in the rural kitchens of our region, where farmers used what the land provided to create meals that were simple yet deeply satisfying. Today it remains a beloved classic across our trattorias and family tables.

And of course, in Piemonte, every dish invites the perfect wine.

The creamy texture of flan pairs beautifully with wines that bring freshness and balance. A vibrant Barbera is a natural companion — its lively acidity cutting through the richness of the cheese while enhancing the earthy flavours of the vegetables.

This is the essence of our region: honest food, beautiful wine, and moments meant to be shared.

🍷 From the heart of Piemonte. What’s your favourite flan?

Our winemakers just tasted something we’ve never made before… and the verdict surprised even them.

For the first time ever, Cesare and Luigi tasted our Barbera Rosato — an experiment born in the vineyard, guided by curiosity, instinct, and the character of our Barbera grapes.

No big expectations. No guarantees.

Just two winemakers, a glass, and the moment of truth.
The result?
 A Rosato that’s fresh, vibrant and unmistakably Barbera — bright fruit, lively acidity, and the kind of wine that belongs on a spring table in Piemonte.

Cesare’s verdict: “It’s good. Now we share it.”

And that’s exactly what we’re about to do. Our first Barbera Rosato is almost ready to meet you.

🍷 A new chapter for Tenuta Il Finale. 🌸 A rosé made from Barbera in the hills of Piemonte.
 And yes… this was the very first taste.

Stay close. Something special is coming.

#wine #PiemonteWine #italianwine #piemonte #italy

In Piemonte, winter is when the vineyard teaches patience.

Between January and early March, while the vines are dormant, every plant is carefully pruned by hand. It’s one of the most important decisions of the entire growing season. At Tenuta Il Finale, we prune using the Guyot system, a traditional method used across Piemonte for quality wine production.

From the many canes a vine grows during summer, most are removed. We leave:
• one fruiting cane with 8–10 buds and one renewal spur with 2 buds

Each bud will become a shoot in spring, and each shoot may carry grape clusters. By limiting the number of buds, we control the balance of the vine — influencing yield, airflow, ripening and ultimately the quality of the fruit.

So while the vineyard may look bare in winter, this is where the next vintage quietly begins.
