Non solo Vino & Farm Food

A sommelier’s table in the hills above Cuneo — wine, garden, and the long Italian afternoon.

Aldo Steccanella

Three decades among the vines.


I spent my working life around Italian wine — cellars in the Langhe, hostarie in the hills, tables where a meal became the best part of someone’s week. Today I pour, I cook, I walk visitors through the vineyards I love. Borgata Biule is home, and you are welcome at the table.

Paccheri al ragù & pink oyster

A short film from the farm kitchen — paccheri with a four-hour Valle Varaita beef ragù and km-zero pink oyster mushrooms, and the wine to pour beside it.
