Infernòt Winery
- €2,550,000
A 17th-century noble estate with an ‘infernòt’, a state-of-the-art wine cellar and a 360° view in Asti, Monferrato – Piedmont
Ref. AST240
In the heart of Monferrato, strategically situated between Turin, Milan and the Ligurian Riviera, this historic estate dating from 1683 combines the aristocratic charm of a period residence with the solidity of a contemporary, fully equipped and already operational winery.
The main villa, with its striking horseshoe shape, dominates the ridge, offering a 360-degree view of the hills, vineyards and woods. The main façade, with its double staircase and hand-forged wrought-iron balconies, leads into a residence that preserves the architectural style of the 17th century whilst offering modern comforts.
The colonnaded portico overlooking the vineyards and the internal courtyard with its stone fountain, covering over 400 square metres, are ideal for receptions, private wine tastings and formal events.
The interiors feature vaulted ceilings, original handcrafted terracotta flooring, stone fireplaces and light-filled rooms, alternating between formal reception areas and more intimate spaces. Flanking the villa, the farm buildings complete the U-shaped courtyard and house guest apartments, communal rooms and service areas, making the property well-suited to high-end hospitality.
