The zone is situated in the hilly system on the right side of the river Tanaro, where soils have the same geological origins and the same characteristics, both if they belong to Alto Monferrato and to Langhe: absence of rocks and very friable structure.

Harsher the Langhe hills, smoother the Monferrato ones: two different but really suggestive and varied landscapes, where grapevines prosper in ordered, painstaking and precious rows, which make unique and extraordinary the agricultural scenery of Southern Piedmont.

Very suitable territory for Muscat grapes, extraordinary for quality and personality, is Canelli. And just on its hills, in the Monferrato core, about 6 hectares are taken up by the vineyards of Ghione farm, which has been producing and vinifying this nectar since 1871 (building date of the house and of the most ancient portion of the cellar, still used nowadays), in San Giovanni region.
