Forti Del Vento

Forti del Vento which translates to strengthened by the wind, is a name inspired by the castles of the northern part of the Monferrato region in Piedmont, and the winds that blow on the hills of Castelletto D’Orba. Fifteen acres are organically certified and planted on hilly terrain at 900 feet above sea level.
