Founded in 1929, the Cantina di Giubiasco is located in the heart of a valuable hilly wine-growing region. Here, history and tradition have left their mark on the territory: the castles of Bellinzona, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bear witness to this.
The Cantina di Giubiasco makes about one tenth of Ticino's entire production from selected grapes grown by over 350 winegrowers. For many decades the Winery has been carefully cultivating old hillside vineyards located in various municipalities surrounding the capital Bellinzona, with its admirable medieval fortifications, castles, crenellated walls and towers.
The care of the hillside vineyards contributes to the preservation of the environment and the maintenance of a valuable landscape asset. It is in this territory that the Merlot vine, cultivated for over a century, produces truly unique wines, appreciated by all admirers. These wines tell the story of their land of origin.
Visits to the cellar
Visitors are welcome in the winery. By reservation, guests can explore the company and admire the result of a passion cultivated with respect for tradition and a constant pursuit of quality.
The guided tour lasts about half an hour and takes guests through the various stages of production: starting in the vinification and bottling rooms, continuing to the aging cellar, and concluding with a wine tasting accompanied by a platter of local cold cuts and cheeses.
