Moriano between viticulture and rural life
Moriano combines several tangible facets of winegrowing and rural life. In Località Moriano, 27040 Montù Beccaria, you will find Agriturismo Al Mastè. In Moriano, Azienda Andi also cultivates seven hectares of vineyards. The place may be particularly interesting for you if you would like to shape your stay in Italy around winegrowing, tastings and rural cuisine. When choosing your accommodation, you can use these themes as personal points of orientation.
Vineyards, grape varieties and tastings
A pleasure-oriented journey begins with the vineyards themselves. Cantina Belcredi organizes guided tours of its vineyards and cellars, combined with tastings of its wines. The San Martino vineyard grows Croatina, Barbera, Uva Rara, Riesling, Cortese, Moscato, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Pinot Nero. San Martino lies at an altitude of 250 to 300 meters and faces southeast. For visitors who want not only to taste wine but also to understand it in the context of its cultivation, the diversity of grape varieties and a precisely described location come together here.
Tradition, ageing and natural methods
The temporal dimension of winegrowing is also one of the topics explored locally. Azienda Agricola Belcredi has been documented since 1906. Azienda Andi produces typical wines of Oltrepò Pavese: white wines, red wines and sparkling wines made using the classic method, with an ageing period of 48 to 60 months. Azienda Andi also produces natural wines. Its farming practices evolved from initially organic agriculture, through biodynamic farming, to experimental natural methods of ecological agriculture that are also used today. If you pay attention to production methods and ageing processes when planning your trip, you will find several different approaches to the subject of wine here.
Historic spaces and regional cuisine
Fausto Andi's “cantina perfetta” opens up a cultural and culinary perspective. It was renovated using materials from the 16th century. Fausto Andi's business was recognized as an accredited teaching farm in 2006. In an old mill, Fausto Andi offers the opportunity to eat and taste the winery's wines; overnight accommodation is also available there on request. Agriturismo Almaste grows various types of vegetables in its garden, which are used in the agriturismo's kitchen for guests' dishes. The spectrum thus ranges from historic materials and agricultural education to wine and produce from its own garden.
Which travel themes suit you
For your individual planning, you can set different priorities: guided tours of the vineyards and cellars at Cantina Belcredi, the grape varieties and orientation of the San Martino vineyard, the wines and farming methods of Azienda Andi, or dining and tastings in the old mill. When selecting accommodation, consider which of these topics should define your stay in Moriano and which way of experiencing them you personally prefer.
