Giulio Cocchi Spumanti is a boutique winery based in Asti since 1891. The company was founded by Giulio Cocchi, a young pastry chef originally from Tuscany who moved his business to the north-western Italian town of Asti in the late XIX century. The founder was fascinated by the pairing of food and wines he found in Asti, the capital of Moscato wines, and soon began the production of aromatic-infused wines and sparkling wines. By the turn of the century two in particular – Barolo Chinato and Aperitivo Americano – had become very popular, not only throughout Piedmont, but also in the export markets of London, New York, Africa and South America.

The company is nowadays best known for its traditional method and metodo Martinotti sparkling wines, Barolo Chinato, vermouth and aperitif wine such as Cocchi Americano. All Cocchi products are wine based and the recipes are still the original ones conceived by the founder, thus making what can be defined a Cocchi style in taste and character.

Giulio Cocchi Spumanti is part of the "Registro Nazionale delle Imprese Storiche" (the National List of Historical Companies).
