Brothers Giuseppe and Mauro Gozzelino set up Sciorio in the 1990s, carrying on four generations of family winemaking from the cascina that gives the estate its name, up on the Costigliole hills. Barbera is the backbone — the Asti DOCG and a barrique-aged Superiore, the "kingdom of Barbera in barrel" as one regular put it — alongside a Monferrato Rosso and, less usual here, a Chardonnay and a Sauvignon.
