Our vines,
our wine
Cantina alla Maggia is located in the heart of the vineyards. A place that combines wine production and wine tasting, just a few metres from Ascona and Lake Maggiore.
An estate unlike any other in the Maggia Delta
Cantina alla Maggia has been producing wine in the heart of Ascona since 1946. Today we are a recognised winery and our wines are known throughout Switzerland for their high quality.
Our oenologist Ettore Biraghi, together with his team, takes care of all the operations on the estate. From the care of the vines to the harvest, from vinification to bottling, everything is done locally and with great passion.

Our philosophy
Making wines that respect the terroir
Ettore Biraghi and our team are committed to ensuring that the philosophy of our winery is reflected in the glass: to bring out the best of the Ticino terroir, while remaining faithful to the character of the grape.

The character of Ticino, beyond grappa
The distillates embody both our roots and our love of experimentation. Amazing things are created from our own raw materials: a whisky aged for over 10 years from our own barley, and a gin refined with the yuzu fruit, which we were the first to grow successfully in Ticino.
We are agriculturalists by passion
In Ascona and on the Magadino plain, we cultivate our fields with care. Thanks to trustworthy partners in Ticino, our raw materials are used to produce local, sustainable and high-quality food - from rice, durum wheat, soft wheat, maize (red, "Millo Corvo", white) to two-row barley.
