Vallebelbo

Lifestyle at the winery

A two-day commission capturing the quiet beauty of Vallebelbo, a winery in Piedmont — from misty vineyard terraces to the life unfolding around the harvest.

Alessandro Michelazzi was commissioned to produce photography and video content for Vallebelbo, a winery set among the terraced hills of the Belbo valley in Piedmont, Italy. Shot over two days, the session moved between the vineyard’s sweeping terraces and hilltop chapel and the winery’s production floor, where two models were photographed in candid lifestyle moments — tasting, toasting, and sharing a meal among the estate’s Moscato and Barbera d’Asti bottlings. The result is a visual story that captures both the landscape and the craft behind the wine, blending documentary-style location photography with directed lifestyle portraiture for a commissioned editorial campaign.
