WHO WE ARE

A fruit,
noble by birth

Cultivated on the slopes of Alto Monferrato since 1400, the Tonda Gentile del Piemonte represents an excellence of the territory. The Piedmont Tonda Gentile Hazelnut has found the ideal territory for its development in the rolling hills of Monferrato, close to the Ligurian Apennines.

The lush hazelnut groves that extend across this strip of land, where Piedmont embraces Liguria, have the ideal environment in which to flourish and grow strong, thanks to the area's special microclimate. The soil characterised by sandy and clayey mineral content, combined with the typical piedmont climate, also influenced by the Maritime Alps, creates the perfect environment for making the hazelnut a concentrate of health and flavour.

THE NOBLE HAZELNUT OF MONFERRATO

It is grown with love and passion

For the ancient Romans, the hazel tree was a nearly religious symbol of fertility, knowledge and protection, to the point that they had a chosen place to plant it in the gardens of their homes. At Tenuta Gropello, we honour this tree, so steeped in history and meaning, every day; that is why we dedicate ourselves to its cultivation with love and passion.

We have chosen a traditional, artisanal approach in our production as well, because we are convinced that, in order to offer products of excellence, it is indispensable to deal with a limited number of production lines and small quantities. This allows us to devote attention and care to each individual product.
