Harvest and vineyard photography for Cantine Balbiano at Villa della Regina, Turin.
Above Turin, the vineyard of Villa della Regina brings winemaking into the landscape of the city. Originally part of the historic Savoy residence, the vineyard was restored and replanted with the involvement of Cantine Balbiano, returning grape growing to a place where it had almost disappeared.
Since 2015, this ongoing photographic project has documented the harvest for Cantine Balbiano. The series follows the people, gestures and rhythms of the vineyard, from the grapes on the vines to the shared work of gathering the fruit, with Turin forming an unmistakable backdrop.
Returning across successive harvests creates a story that extends beyond a single season. Portraits, working moments and views of the vineyard connect the wine to its origins, revealing the relationship between the Balbiano family, the land and a living part of the city’s heritage.
