Among the barriques of Casa Coppo’s fine red wines and the stacks of Metodo Classico we will discover the history of the family and the vicissitudes of the coopers’ guild: the labors, the parties, the revelry, and the testimonies of the most characteristic characters of 19th-century Canelli.

VISIT AT CONTRATTO

The majesty of the Cathedrals Contratto will welcome you in all its elegance, we will walk through ancient underground corridors discovering all the secrets of bottle fermentation, the secret language of exporters and listen to the sounds of remuage because “in the silence of the cellar remuage is music”!

visit at BOSCA

The underground tour closes at the oldest of the three Cathedrals, the place from which a great dynasty of sparkling wine makers set out to make Canelli known to the world. From Pietro Bosca, the emigrant sutler, to the most innovative products and the secrets of Vermouth. We will relive terrible floods and unexpected triumphs.
