Riccadonna Asti

It is the 1920s. There is the explosion of cinema, literature, music, from the America of Jazz and Francis Scott Fitzgerald to the Europe of Marcel Proust, Breton’s surrealism, and then art nouveau and art deco. It is at Canelli, in the province of Asti, among the grapes and lush landscapes, that a story made of bubbles comes to life, a trend so strong and unstoppable that it slowly conquers the whole world.

Founded by Clara and Ottavio Riccadonna in 1921 in Via Alfieri in Canelli, Piedmont. In just a few years, Riccadonna became a leader in the sparkling wine sector thanks to the skills of Ottavio, who grew up in the midst of the family vineyards and trained at the Oenological School of Alba, and thanks to Clara, who had gained experience in the modern world by travelling to Argentina with her father to market their wines internationally.
