Located in Castell’Alfero d‘Asti, the heart of Monferrato, the Gamba family has handed down the ancient art of the master cooper from father to son for seven generations. As early as the 1800's, oval and round casks, along with barrels and vats were being built in the skillful craftsmen’s workshop for Italy and its neighboring countries.
Today Eugenio Gamba and his son Mauro continue the tradition of the master cooper in the new workshop not far from the one in which production had always been carried out until 1991.
The old facility with an enchanting atmosphere that only time can instill, is currently used as a workshop for the large casks built exclusively to order. Over many decades, machines and work tools have changed to accommodate demand. Tradition is now supported by technology, yet Gamba's mission remains the same. To focus on selecting the finest wood so that wines crafted within the vessels we craft will improve and produce nothing but ultra premium quality after aging.
“Since I was a kid, I have always dreamed to be a cooper”. (Mauro Gamba)
