So in 2006, after thirty years of professional practice in finance and osteopathy respectively, my husband Bob and I emigrated to the Asti Langhe region with our three younger sons and our Land Rovers.

We have purchased and are refurbishing Casa della Fontana, a cascina (large farmhouse) in Cassinasco comune which has its own vineyards. Wine was produced on-site until 2000, and we hope to re-establish wine production in due course.

In preparation for this, we are investing in our vineyards by replacing older vines, and we are also planting two new vineyards.

If you want to find out more about this outstandingly beautiful wine-producing area we offer holiday accomodation at Wisteria Cottage in the neighbouring village of Sessame in the heart of the Asti Langhe area.
