Fratelli Grimaldi

The Fratelli Grimaldi company is located on San Grato Hill in Santo Stefano Belbo , in the heart of the Moscato d'Asti production area.

A production tradition that to this day involves the whole family in the management of the 20 hectares of fully owned vineyards, spread over four of the most suitable hills in the area : Moncucco, San Grato, San Maurizio and Bauda

. The history of the family began at the end of the 19th century, when the great-grandfather Carlo Grimaldi was already growing vines and producing wine in Cossano Belbo.

It was the vicissitudes brought about by the arrival of the two world wars that interrupted the children's wine-making activities, but not the cultivation of the vine that continued despite the difficulties.

And it was precisely this passion for viticulture that led Grandfather Ilario to move with his family to the neighboring municipality of Santo Stefano Belbo, where the company is still located, in search of the best quality land and thus their family tradition to maintain.
It was back in 1989 that Sergio, with the help of his parents Ilario and Vittorina and his wife Angela, started making the first bottles of Moscato d'Asti on his own, giving them the nickname that identified the house: Ca' Du Sindic ( mayor's house).

The entry of Paolo and Ilaria in the vineyard and in the cellar, as well as in the promotion and presentation of the wines, has represented in recent years a clear desire to continue the philosophy and their values. First of all, maintaining a strong and respectful bond with the territory, allowing them to reconcile and best express that character and expressiveness that make the land unique. In this context, it was decided to change the name of the company from Ca' du Sindic to Fratelli Grimaldi
