Historic cellar tour and tasting at Bava

The Bava family built its first cellar in Cocconato in 1911, and six generations on it farms about fifty hectares across Monferrato and the Langa. Every visit starts down in the historic cellars and the barrel room before moving up to the tasting room. The Classic format pours a Martinotti-method sparkler, two reds and a vermouth; "Story of Monferrato" swaps those for four estate wines, one of them a long-aged red; and "Piedmont's Finest" spends two hours on the best vintages of Bava's five flagship wines. Send a request through the form on the winery's site. The cellar receives visitors seven days a week, and can also put together verticals or old family-reserve vintages served with cheese.
