Description

Cerretta is our second single vineyard with origins in Serralunga d'Alba. In 2015 the first harvest, made us learn even better the expression of a clay and limestone soil. Its structure and vibrant tannins are its main characteristics. Our style of ageing in big barrels makes it very interesting already in its youth, creating the bases to rest a few years in the bottle.

We have always believed that organic is a way of life rather than a method of production, we believe in the importance of this philosophy in order to leave the ground in better conditions than we found it. Our grapes are grown in full respect of the wonderful land that hosts us, of the people who work there and of the consumer who choose us. Sometimes, to follow an ideal, one must have the courage to face more difficult paths.

We produce wines that are an expression of the territory in full respect of the Langa tradition. We follow step by step the transformation of grapes into wine thanks to the attention of our winemakers and the use of the best technologies. At the center of all our choices is the search for the highest quality, from the vineyard to the bottle.
