Cascina Gilli is located in the low Monferrato, in Castelnuovo Don Bosco and Albugnano.
It consists of a historical building of the year 1700 and 20 acres of surrounding land.
Since 1983 is managed by Gianni Vergnano that with a careful and painstaking work has succeeded in making the company one of the most reliable and prestigious in the Piedmont landscape.
Freisa was vinified especially in the sparkling version, or "moved". The result is a wine of easy access, easy to drink and undemanding, fairly close to type as Lambrusco or Bonarda. This choice stems from the fact that the Freisa, although genealogically a close relative of the more famous Nebbiolo, the grape Prince of Piedmont, has a significantly more pronounced tannins of this. For several decades, however, is produced in a "still" version.
