The ancient “scattered village” among vineyards and history

At the heart of the UNESCO hills, just minutes from renowned Canelli and surrounded by the extraordinary landscape of vineyards and hazelnut groves, this historic hamlet is one of the area’s properties richest in history. Set in an oasis of peace and quiet, the estate combines the timeless charm of a historic residence with the comfort and elegance of a refined relais, offering a rare real-estate opportunity in one of the most sought-after destinations on the international wine-tourism scene. Once the private residence of Miranda Bocchino, granddaughter of the founder of the historic distillery and a leading figure in Piedmontese winemaking, for decades the property served as her private retreat and exclusive meeting place for distinguished figures from the world of wine. It preserves a tradition that continues today through the production of wines made with grapes from the estate by the prestigious Contratto winery. The residence welcomes guests into spaces where every detail recounts the history of the site. The twelve finely furnished suites enhance the hamlet’s authentic character while offering contemporary standards of comfort. Premium materials, refined finishes, spacious bathrooms, panoramic balconies and breathtaking views over the hills make the interiors exclusive and enchanting. Outside, the property opens onto a magnificent park enhanced by an impressive infinity pool, relaxation areas, spaces dedicated to hospitality and terraces with views that seem to have been painted. The estate extends over approximately twelve hectares, including around four hectares of vineyards planted with Chardonnay, Moscato and Pinot Noir. Its strategic location makes the hamlet ideal both as an exclusive private residence and as a prestigious investment in the luxury hospitality sector, capable of attracting an increasingly international clientele drawn to the authentic appeal of the Langhe and Monferrato. A unique property where history, prestige, nature and tradition come together in perfect harmony. A historic hamlet that is not merely a distinguished property, but a true icon of the Piedmontese lifestyle, intended for those seeking exclusivity, beauty and an investment destined to appreciate over time.
