4. Our Story

6. Collina del Tiglio is a family
owned winery in Piedmont,
Italy. Our vineyards are located
among the medieval towns and
castles of Alto-Monferrato.
The 10 hectares of vines, some
more than 50 years old, include
Chardonnay, Cortese, Dolcetto,
Barbera, and Cabernet Franc
varietals. Our viniculture
philosophy is a blend of
personal attention and
a modern approach.
Keeping organic principles in
mind, Collina del Tiglio tries
not to interfere with the natural
Piemontese weather patterns
and eco-systems.
Umberto Lucarno, the winemaker, worked for years
with world renowned oenologist Donato Lanati —
creator of the “Enosis” research centre. Collina del
Tiglio is unique in this region for making blended
varietal wines, creating an original flavor and palate.
All wines are categorized D.O.C., confirmed by the
Italian Government. D.O.C. determines the grape
varietals, yields and method of production.

11. The silhouettes of people on swings that
appear on our labels are designed to
convey the openness and joy one would
want to share with a close friend.
This is the feeling we try to instill in our
wine, and hope it is contained in every
glass.
The red wine has a female silhouette,
and the white — male. They can stand
on their own, but side by side they
complete each other.

14. The minimalistic design of these labels
draws attention and makes the wine stand
out. Although it is self sufficient, every
label can be completed by the one who
buys it. By putting one’s individual mark
on the blank canvas of the label, one can
become our co-creator and partner.
The bottle of boutique wine becomes,
in the hands of the buyer, a totally unique
and unrepeatable creation. A simple
signature, time and date of impressions
shared, a heartfelt wish, a drawing or
collage — anything the imagination
suggests — can be used for an original
gift or pleasant memory.
