At Tenuta Tenaglia, we’ve chosen to embrace the principles of integrated farming—but what exactly does that mean?

The essence of this approach can be summed up in the following idea: “a combination of methods, giving priority to biological, biotechnical, and cultivation techniques over chemical treatments.”

In simple terms, it means we minimise the use of chemical plant protection products in the vineyard, favouring natural, eco-friendly agricultural practices that work in harmony with the ecosystem itself.

We believe in research, innovation, and the “best practices” passed down through generations. When our vines face real threats, we turn to this deep-rooted knowledge to find solutions.

Curious? Here are a few real-world examples:

• We use only organic fertilisers—never chemical ones.
• We protect the soil from depletion and erosion, often caused by chemicals and excessive exploitation.
• We prevent diseases and pests through strategic, regular agronomic checks, always prioritising natural and organic solutions.

For us, integrated farming is more than just a method—it’s a philosophy, a commitment to our land, our wines, and our customers. When you sip a glass of our wine, you’re not just tasting flavours and aromas—you’re experiencing the values and dedication behind every bottle.

With love from Monferrato,
Sabine & the Tenuta Tenaglia Team

‘Wine is love‘ Sabine likes to tell her guests, friends and customers.

And how can you blame her? Everything in this historic winery located on the slopes of one of the highest hills of the Monferrato speaks of a feeling of affection.

Just as Giorgio Tenaglia, the founder, stayed here in the distant 17th century for passion – that for Barbera – in the same way Sabine’s parents, the German husband and wife Ehrmann, bought this property for the realisation of a dream in a land that had deeply enchanted them!

Dedication to quality, listening to tradition, and always looking for inclusiveness and innovation have become the mantra of the present, the ingredients with which Sabine, her children Luigi and Isabella, and the entire team have worked to create a completely new recipe for winemaking.

Among our vineyards and in our glasses you will have the pleasure of exploring all these scents and discover with surprise how in each one of them you can recognise a little of our beautiful Monferrato, a little of our centuries-old history, and why not, also a little of yours.

With affection,

Sabine and the entire Tenuta Tenaglia team
