I Parcellari

IPARCELLARI was born from the passion for wines of Davide Canina, a professional Piedmontese sommelier, before than for their quality, for the rooted concept of the wine production as a representation of its territory.

During his visits in Italy and abroad, he fell in love with the deep bond that cellars have for the production of wines in Plots, or rather for the exasperation of their production in the wine-growing area through the different “Lieux-dits” or “Climat”.

The “Plot” - also known as “Lieu-dit”, represents a defined and limited space within an officially registered pitch of land.

A set of Plots can be considered a Parcel - also known as “Climat”.

Davide Canina

Davide Canina, Piedmontese engineer, embraced his passion for wine in 2008 by becoming a professional sommelier. Beginning in 2014, he served as wine list curator for Michelin-starred restaurants in Piedmont—including I Due Buoi and Osteria Arborina under chef Andrea Ribaldone, and Locanda del Sant’Uffizio under chef Enrico Bartolini.
Since 2021, he has worked as a Wine Specialist consultant, creating and overseeing wine lists for gourmet restaurants.

Davide e Monica

Agostino Malvicino

In 2019, together with Monica Pedrotto, life - partner and co-creator of the project, the adventure of IParcellari begun. From the meeting with Agostino Malvicino, at the time director of Produttori di Govone, the project of enhancing the 300 ha area owned by the members through a Parcel selection of the best vineyards to produce wines of the highest quality from Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, territories under the preservation label of UNESCO started up. The project was born in the vineyard named Bricco Pizzo in Cioccaro di Penango- Asti, where Davide was in the role of Head of Sommeliers until January 2021 for Locanda del Sant'Uffizio of Enrico Bartolini, a one Michelin starred restaurant at the time, currently upgraded to two stars of the international award. From here it all starts (started): Davide and Agostino begun to study the map of vineyards and their Parcels, analyzing soils and clones of the grapes. With a cooperation and the focused work Claudio Dacasto, local wine-maker, Parcels of Barbra, Grignolino, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Albarossa and Nebbiolo were identified as eligible to produce wines capable of expressing the most out of the terroirs of the three selected sites: Portacomaro, Montegrosso d'Asti and Govone.

From this idea our motto- ONE VINEYARD, ONE PLOT, ONE WINE- was born.

In the beginning of 2022, Maurizio Gily joined the team as an agronomist and oenologist consultant. The goal was to improve the management of the vineyards for better facing the challenges of climate change and search for new Parcels to involve in the project and new wines to produce.
