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.

A union of tradition, work-ethic and soul.

3. Geography &
Vineyards

4. For lovers of wine, Piedmont represents the very
best of Italian winemaking.
Piemontese wine tradition goes back to antiquity.
This was the location of the royal vineyards as well
as those of the aristocracy. Unlike the hot italian
south, Piemonte is not about bright colour. Rather,
it’s about elegance, style and harmony.
This is the region that produces the world famous
Barolo and Barbaresco styles.

5. Monferrato is often called the heart of Piedmont.
This region is in the south of Piedmont, between the
Tanaro river and the Ligurian border.
Its hot summers and damp winters, as well as the
composition and structure of its terroir create
beneficial conditions for the winemaking which is a
central pillar of the local economy and a cultural
symbol for the region.

6. Our vineyards are located among the medieval towns and
castles of Alto Monferrato.
They are well situated on the south and southwest sides of
the Apenine hills.
The vineyards comprise 10.18 hectares.
Red grapes - Dolcetto, Barbera and Cabernet Franc.
White grapes - Chardonnay and Cortese.

7. Some of our vines are more than 50 years old. The vineyards are located
on a rich terroir that is responsible for the wine’s bright aroma and flavor
structure.
The grapes have the high sugar content, balanced acidity and tannins
necessary for long maturation of wine.

8. COMPANY &
PRODUCTION

9. Collina del Tiglio was founded in 2007 by Yuri Mostovoy.
After a successful career on Wall Street, Yuri had the opportunity to immerse himself directly into
the process that had fascinated him for many years. Having moved with his family to a 10
hectare vineyard in Piedmont, he dedicated himself to winemaking with the same passion and
work-ethic that he’d had in his life thus-far.
He assembled a wonderful group of Italian professionals with in depth knowledge of the
subtleties of winemaking. Previously, the vineyard belonged to count Guelfi Camajani, and had
brought him many awards. Since then it has been converted to modern agronomic technology,
keeping organic principles in mind during the process. Our goal is to harvest grapes with a
concentrated flavour.

10. The effort put into the improvement and development of the farm was judged worthy by the
European Fund for Agricultural Development (EAFRD). Collina del Tiglio was granted funds for a
new technical building. The structure has a degustation hall with panoramic windows and a
terrace looking out on the hills and vineyards.
All our wines are categorized D.O.C. confirmed by the Italian Government. D.O.C. determines
the grape varietals, yields, vineyard orientation and method of production.

11. Collina del Tiglio follows the principle of minimal interference with the natural
Piemontese weather patterns and eco-systems. We are more interested in the richness
than the quantity of the harvest.
Our agronomist believes that the vine needs to struggle in order for the juice in the fruit
to be of quality.

12. This belief finds form in the following
processes of our wine culture:
We fertilize only once a year using organic
fertilizer;
When tilling the earth between rows on an
annual basis, we skip rows – in this way, the
earth is only tilled once every two years;
We keep a balance between the leaves and
fruit, to provide the correct amount of sunshine
and shade;
We practice green harvesting – pruning some
fruit green in order to devote the resources of
the whole plant to the remaining grapes for
concentrated flavor;
Instead of herbicide we practice the expensive
mechanical process of mowing the grass
between vine-trunks;
The grapes are harvested and sorted into
categories by hand.

13. The white wine is produced with the cold soak
method – the grapes are pressed and then
refrigerated together with the skins for 24
hours – this improves the colour and flavor of
the resultant wine.
The Red wine is produced using a time
consuming fermentation process to achieve
the best flavor and aroma possible.
The premium red wine is stored in French oak
barriques. Every varietal is stored separately.
The assembly (mixing of varietals) is
accomplished at the end of the maturation
process based on the specific needs of the
wine.

14. OUR WINES

15. Collina del Tiglio can be translated as “Linden Tree Hill”. The family villa is surrounded by 15
linden trees that provide a magical aroma. A set of swings, built by Yuri for his children and
grandchildren, hangs from their branches, with a view of the surrounding vineyards and hills.
Sitting on these swings, taking in the panorama below, one feels an inner stillness and freedom.
This is the reason we fell in love with this corner of the world. The set of swings became a symbol
of the company.

16. 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 we hope 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.

20. Monferrato Rosso 2010 – is a premium wine due to its flavor characteristics
and unique design, a bold avant-garde concept.
The label’s minimalistic design draws attention, making the wine stand out. A statement in itself, 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 un-repeatable
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.
