					<description><![CDATA[The Dezzani Winery was founded in 1934 in Cocconato, in the province of Asti. The town is located 491 meters above sea level on the renowned Riviera del Monferrato. The history of our wines is closely linked to this territory, to its ideal microclimate for growing unique vineyards, and to its authentic tradition. The historical remains of Romanesque, Gothic, and medieval architecture frame the rows of Barbera, Albarossa, Cabernet, and Syrah, making the landscape even more captivating.

The name “8 Bucce” celebrates the uniqueness of this wine, crafted from a masterful blend of eight grape varieties. The native Piedmontese varieties, Barbera, Dolcetto, Freisa, Bonarda, and Albarossa, are elegantly combined with Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, lending depth, roundness, and structure. This wine reflects a vision where tradition and modernity merge into a timeless style, embracing a philosophy that honors native Piedmontese grapes while integrating international varieties to create unique and distinctive blends.
