2. Tenuta Tamburnin, is located
in Italy, in the Piedmont
Region.
It is situated in the province
of Asti, in a small country,
Castelnuovo Don Bosco,
which has always been a
“land of saints and wine”, in
Basso Monferrato Astigiano.

3. AN ESTATE BUILT IN THE 18TH CENTURY
The nine hectares of vineyards in one
single formation, at an altitude of
around 300 metres above sea level,
form an impressive amphitheatre
surrounding the buildings of Tenuta
Tamburnin.
A long, majestic avenue of acacia
trees, whose pruned branches were
once used as support poles in the
vineyards (and today are used as fuel
for heating the company buildings),
serves as the entrance to Tenuta
Tamburnin

4. For its attractive setting, its buildings and the historic
winery, Tenuta Tamburnin has been listed as a
heritage site of historical and scenic interest.

5. RUN BY THREE SISTERS
Since summer 2004 the property has
been owned by the sisters Elena,
Valeria and Claudia Gaidano.
Valeria, Claudia and the trio’s
father, Piergiorgio, deal full-time
with the running of the business,
acting on expert advice from the
oenologist Gianpiero Gerbi from
Cordero Consulting and the
agronomist Daniele Dellavalle.

6. SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS
AND DEDICATION TO THE LAND
Since 2017 the crops at Tenuta
Tamburnin are grown following the
principles of organic farming: actually
the winery is under conversion to
organic farming under the article 29,
par. 1 del Reg. (CE) n. 834/2007.
A valuable source of transparent and
crystalline water provides the water
needs of the company through a
storage basin, while the surplus water
continues its life cycle by returning to the
river on the valley floor.

7. The harvest is manual

8. THE VINEYARDS
The nine hectares of vineyards in one
single formation, at an altitude of
around 300 rest on ferrous-clay soils
with the presence of red clays.
The vine training system used is
espalier with Guyot pruning in which
6-7 buds are left, and the harvest is
manual.
The cultivation methods used provide
very limited yields which offer
undoubted benefits to the quality of
the wine production.

9. The grape varieties from
which the wines of Tenuta
Tamburnin are brought to life
are typical of the territory
(Freisa and Malvasia,
Bonarda, Barbera and
Nebbiolo).
Some international varieties
(Chardonnay, Sauvignon
Blanc and Merlot) were
introduced on a small area
in order to complete the
range of the vineyard’s
production. Some of the
vines at the winery are more
than 40 years old, while
others are recent.

10. TRADITIONAL
VINIFICATION
Grape pressed delicately.
Alcoholic fermentations in
temperature controlled
stainless tank with daily
pumping over.
Low sulfites added.
