It's called "Tre secoli" (three centuries), and it's the biggest Piedmont wine cooperative, born by the merger between Cantina Sociale di Mombaruzzo (Asti), founded in 1887, and Cantina Terre di Ricaldone (Alessandria). The new company name has been chosen by a jury made up of about forty people among marketing experts, communicators and Italians and foreign traders. The structure will bring together more than 450 members, and will have a total of about 1,300 hectares of vineyards located mainly in the "Nizza" subzone of the classical production area of Barbera d'Asti, and partly in the Alessandria province, where Brachetto d'Acqui, Moscato d'Asti, Asti, Dolcetto d'Acqui and Cortese of Monferrato come from.
