Luigi Castino - MOMBERCELLI

Authentic, cozy, rich and simply delicious. All these tastes that Larissa can create is just incredible, and the setting is just beautiful.

This is the second time my wife, daughter and I were able to visit with Gino and Larissa for some wine tasting and lunch. I have bought wine from Gino many times over the last 10 years and I am always amazed at the high quality he produces. We had a great time recently getting reconnected and drinking wine and playing guitar. The lunch Larissa cooks is so very good and the wine is fantastic and I wish we had planned more days to hanging out with their family. We will be back soon! Cheers! S

Super nice experience. First a nice truffle tour (found 3), followed by a tour of the wine cellar with various tastings. Afterwards, a fantastic home-cooked dinner with their own very good wines. And all at a very reasonable price. A highly recommended experience.

Luigi and Larissa are authentic. Luigi is a 3rd or 4 generation winemaker/grape farmer and the wines he produces are terrific. Larissa is a wonderful cook. Upon arrival we toured Luigi’s cellar and sampled some of his very young wines that, IMO, portent well for the future. Wines we had with dinner were Grignolo d’Asti, Monferrato Rosso [barbera/cab suav blend] and his Barbera d’Asti all were superb wines. Food served was all local produce. 6 courses, with the highlight being home pasta with black truffle just found this morning. Luigi and Larissa are very welcome and engaging and are gracious hosts. Should I be fortunate enough to be able to return to Piedmonte I will definitely visit here again!

You will received a home cooked meal after a tour of the winery, wine tasting and truffle hunting (when in season). Got to eat a truffle we found! Very fun afternoon and evening with wonderful hosts. These are great people who love to share their passions and traditions.
