Our Story

Telling the story of the Uvamatris winery means sharing a profound part of my own history. The bond with this Monferrato land—so intimate and visceral—and the passion I pour into my work every day are born from the family ties that raised me; bonds that, over time, have evolved into core values.

It all began in the early 1970s, when Mario Ronchi, my grandfather, driven by a deep love for the land and its fruits, decided to purchase Cascina San Pietro in Sala Monferrato. That choice was more than just a purchase: it was the birth of a dream, the desire to build something authentic, rooted in nature and time.

With great generosity, my grandfather decided to gift the estate to his wife, my grandmother Anna, who managed it with passion and dedication until her passing in 2006.

Over the years, our family breathed in the scent of wine in the air, realizing that carrying forward this tradition would bring us immense fulfillment.

After a meticulous renovation of the farmhouse and the vineyards, we began our adventure in 2007 with our first harvest. A new beginning, deeply rooted in our family’s history, looking toward the future with respect, commitment, and vision.

The name Uvamatris remains, to this day, a tribute to my grandmother, a central figure in our history. Within her, the values that continue to guide our work are interwoven: dedication, care, and respect for the land.

But Uvamatris is also a reference to the Mother of all things, Mother Nature, who each year entrusts us with her fruits—unpredictable and generous, demanding and wonderfully alive.
