Villa Pattono is the name of the old country villa belonging to the family ancestors from Costigliole d�Asti. Already back at the beginning of the last Century, their great grandmother Cristina Vittoria Pattono produced a �house wine,� resulting from a blend of the grapes coming from the various vineyards surrounding the villa. This wine has an intense, ruby red colour with a bouquet of ripe plum and an undercurrent of spice and liquorice. It is flavourful and full-bodied, pleasing and elegant with good persistence.
