The best wineries in Piemonte.
Cantina Enrico Serafino was founded in 1878 in Canale d’Alba, the main town in the heart of the Roero and a farming village rich in history, whose earliest records date back to the Middle Ages.
Founded by Enrico Serafino, businessman and landowner, the winery soon became one of the most important in Piedmont and among the first to sell the classic wines of the region throughout Italy and abroad.
In the 90s there was a complete modernization of the entire production system.
Since 2002, the entire production process is fully managed and monitored internally with cutting–edge facilities for grape pressing, winemaking and bottling.
There are few cases in which a producer, in the space of 20 years, has managed to become one of the most prestigious and popular vigneron in the world. Roberto Voerzio has achieved this result thanks to his tenacity in pursuing the highest quality, without compromise. Roberto is a worker of the vineyard, and he believes that everything depends on this. His work in the vineyard is meticulous, almost obsessive, and this lets him take from it, with a mortifying thinning, a substance of such purity that his wines are always better than others. Within a few years, Roberto managed to acquire some of the most famous crus of the Barolo district, in the hilly area of the town of La Morra e Barolo. In the early 80s he was among the first vinegrowers in Langa to radically reinterpret the work in the vineyard, before creating new high–density plants, then doing a meticulous work among the rows, opting for a drastic reduction in yield per hectare, in favor of a raw material of high quality. Who, at the time, walked in his lands, thought he was mad: all those grapes on the ground! Today from his vineyards, curated as gardens, extraordinary wines come, great as any other else for steadiness and quality, an example of elegance and interpretation of the terroir. A true model of total quality. Since the mid–nineties Roberto Voerzio, has been consistently at the top positions in all the world ranking of the most important publications in the sector, thanks to its magnificent Barolo, to which he was able to give a thoroughly modern and innovative mark, always in the rut of the tradition.
The winery Fiorenzo Nada, the penultimate of seven children, inherits at the end of the 50s a small piece of land on the border with Alba. His family has always produced wine, selling it in bulk to restaurants. When the property is divided among the four male sons, he chooses to vinify only for family and friends and sells grapes from its vineyards, very demanded, to the traders in the area.
His son Bruno, like many young people of the period, decides to leave Treiso and to study before in Turin, then in Asti. He teaches at a school in Alba and at the Hotel Institute of Barolo, where he introduces wine and food as a teaching subject.
The link with Treiso was never completely broken and when he knows some lighted wine producers who speak of terroir, of wines expression of the territory and of low yields per hectare, Bruno proposes to his father not to sell their grapes and to equip the cellar for wine–making on their own. Pruvuma (we try) is the only word of his father. There are not good times, the clash of generations is strong. Bruno gets up early in the morning to go to thin the vines, unbeknownst to his father, and hides the clusters in the ditches. It is 1982 when the family can count on the extraordinary vineyard of Rombone, which gives its name to the place where he was born and the family Nada lives. Today Monica and Danilo help their father with the same passion that inspired him so many years ago.
When, in 1985, Matteo Correggia inherits the family farm from his father, the boom in viticulture is far, and to the left of the Tanaro River fruits and vegetables are grown, next to the vines from which wine for a few close friends is produced.
Matteo is a young farmer fond of the new craft. He works carefully ready to learn and improve in every little thing: a trait that will become characteristic of all his experience. The “Renaissance” of wine, meanwhile, has dawned. Unexpected like a bud on the steak, which yesterday was not there and today explodes. Matteo decided that his project was simple, and for this he would not have given up. The goal? To make, not only to produce, memorable wines. It was not an easy choice. To make in absolute quality, in a land still underestimated because misunderstood, for many people an unrealistic conceit.
He helps himself with a chainsaw, that with granite determination waves like a sword: before, in the orchard, plants are cut, and then, in the cellar, the old large barrels are reduced to firewood, to make way for the new barrels.
His father Giovanni did not understand those drastic decisions and took refuge in silence, because of his son who broke with his whole world and was unworthy of his vineyards, and died in 1985 disinheriting him.
Elio did not give up and has not given up now, decided to change way to give another interpretation to wine, favoring elegance, finesse and balance, following a severe labor in the vineyard, adopting in the winery new techniques of vinification and aging aimed to enhance vine variety and territory, with stubbornness still chasing his dream.
Our small size allows still today an easy management, family–run under the constant supervision of Elio. The company currently consists of approximately 10 hectares and its average annual production is of about 60,000 bottles.
Pecchenino agricultural company was founded at the end of the eighteenth century, has always been family–run, and its estates has been handed down generation after generation.
Documents about it date back to the beginning of the nineteenth century, when the company, run by grandfather Attilio, covered a little more than 8 hectares. Since the 70s, when the company was taken over by Attilio’s son Marino, and after, in 1987, by his sons Orlando and Attilio, new plots of land and vineyards were purchased, forming now a surface of more or less 25 hectares, of which 22 in the Municipality of Dogliani and 3 in the Municipality of Monforte d’Alba. The area of Dogliani is characteristic for the Dolcetto grape variety, whose presence is recorded even in 1432 in a manuscript founded in the municipal archives.
The company is cultived with Dolcetto (70%) and for the rest, with Barbera, Nebbiolo, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties. The company, moreover, owns plots of land in the Municipality of Monforte d’Alba, one of the most suited areas for the production of Barolo wine: in the San Giuseppe locality, where the cru “Le Coste” is produced, and in the Bussia locality, where the cru “Bussia Corsini” is going to be produced.
A passion, that for wine, that is indissoluble for the Mossio family. So as the bond to land, to labor, and to these vineyards located in enviable and wonderfully scenic locations. The history of this company began with grandfather Francesco and grandmother Francesca and continues with Luigi and Ennio Mossio with their wives, both named Margherita, and then with their children. Today Valerio and Remo, aided by their nephew Michele, are personally committed to the production of Dolcetto d’Alba, Bricco Caramelli and Piano delli Perdoni. Barbera, Nebbiolo and Langhe Rosso, the results of a happy union between Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. Mossio, therefore, is the common work of a family that, with different roles, finds all involved towards one single goal: the quality of wine.
From the vineyards owned, mostly planted in good positions, the winery produces its Dolcetto. Quality has been the goal for several years, but it can be said that the Mossio family have reached also goodness, especially by virtue of contained yields and an increased expertise in the process of winemaking.
Franco M. Martinetti, is a leading player in the international food and wine panorama, a gentleman of other times, equally at ease among rows of vineyards in Piedmont and with the most prestigious chefs, in the most important wineries and in the main sector institutions worldwide.
His professional career began not among wines, but as an advertiser. At the same time, he deepened his passion for wine and food and, in 1974, he began to produce wines. Since then, his career course, as the one of its products, has been full of successes, witnessed by numerous international awards. He is the only Italian to be part of the Acadmie du Vin de France, and since 2003 he is President of the Acadmie Internationale du Vin.
The agricultural company was founded in 1920 by great–grandfather Bepi, and develops with grandfather Salvatore and father Oreste.
In the 90s, Claudio, with the help of his brother Mauro and his mother Piera, gives continuity to the tradition and the passion for land and wine handed down by his ancestors. The decision to focus firmly on Barbera and Timorasso are a message that speaks of the importance of quality and of a region that is increasingly strong. Other varieties that are grown here are: Cortese, Freisa and Croatina, from which we expect a lot of satisfaction. The visit of the company allows us to admire the views that the Tortona Hills offer and to taste our own wines of different vintages.
Our winery began its production in the 50s under the guidance of Giuseppe Damonte. Guseppe was a dreamer, he loved his country, and understood that Roero had great potential. Today, Malvir is led by the sons of Giuseppe: Massimo and Roberto, who have inherited from their father the same dream and the same passion.
Over time the company has grown and conquered new markets, but its family management remains; Massimo takes care of the vineyards and Roberto of the cellar.
Giacomo, son of Roberto and Patrizia, has completed the Oenology School of Alba and is taking his first steps in the company of the family, while the children of Massimo and Federica: Lucia, Francesco and Pietro, are still in compulsory schooling.
Patrizia, the wife of Roberto, runs the “Villa Tiboldi” farmhouse inn, with nine elegant rooms in the heart of the Trinità vineyard.
Cantina Viticoltori del Monferrato is a small cooperative of winemakers founded in 1998, with a specific project: making of the experiences acquired individually in viticulture, terroir management, selection of grapes, and wine–making, the keystones for the production of top quality Barbera del Monferrato.
Vocation, challenge and passion: these are three essential aspects for Cascina Fonda. Vocation for the territory and the wine-growing since 1963, year in which Secondino Barbero founded the company exploiting his experience in the oenological field.
The challenge was won thanks to his sons Massimo and Marco, who have bottled their wine since 1988; they focused on Moscato and since 1991 they have processed all the produced grapes.
Finally, the passion is for the sweet taste of Moscato, which is produced by the Barbero brothers in the sweet and dry versions Moscato d'Asti and Asti Spumante (since 1991).
This “sweet passion” encouraged Cascina Fonda to focus especially on Moscato, a wine produced on the hills between Mango and Neive, symbol of a land that gives unique fruits.
The Barbero Brothers also produce other wines: Dolcetto, Barbaresco and Brachetto. Their products are marketed in Italy, in the United States, in Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and France.
From 1995 to 2000 the new cellar was developed according logistic and modern principles, to support the processing of Moscato, a young and fresh wine.
Massimo and Marco Barbero continue to work to maintain the quality that characterized all the wines produced by Cascina Fonda.
GIORGIO CARNEVALE Company was founded at the end of the last century in Fubine Monferrato by the grandfather of the current owner.
In 1926 his son Delfino left company of his father and moved to Cerro Tanaro.
With the cooperation of his family, in–laws, and his wife, took over the Winery of Baron Giuseppe Quaglia, located on the border between the two municipalities of Cerro Tanaro and Rocchetta Tanaro, at the foot of the pleasant Asti hills particularly suited to the cultivation of Barbera, Grignolino, Moscato, Brachetto, Freisa, and not far from the Langhe of Alba.
Soon he became one of the most skilled connoisseurs of the best locations, that he selects wisely, in relation to the characteristics that are transmitted from soils to the wines.
In October 1953, the current owner George succeeded, who graduated at the Oenology Institute in Alba, and renewed the business, extended and modernized the old cellars, devoting himself with competence and passion to the vinification of the grapes from this prestigious area.
Noteworthy is the “Vecchio Barbera della Rocchetta” 1961, with which the Carnevale Company is widely appreciated and is rewarded with international prizes.
Its wines, distributed through traditional sales channels (specialized restaurants and wine bars), are highly prized for their distinct characteristics of typicality and finesse.
In 1986, to continue the family tradition, the son of Giorgio joined the company: the Oenologist Alessandro. He follows in the footsteps of his father and grandfather Delfino, maintains and intensifies the now ten–year collaborations with senior farmers and tries to tighten new cooperations, in order to make more and more concrete his relationship with the land, and to improve the quality of his Wines.
Lorenzo Accomasso has been for many years the president of the Council Winery of La Morra, the favorite place of many wine lovers. The proposed tastings and events that are organized there are of high level, enhancing the territory and its wines. The credit for this goes to Lorenzo and to his employees who run the winery, in which all the producers of La Morra are represented. The wines of Lorenzo, in particular its Barolo, Rocchette and Le Mie Vigne, stand out for their character and great fidelity to tradition. These are wines that tell more than others the passion of a man for his Langhe, hills kissed by Bacchus. In the tasting of this year, Barolo Rocchette 2004 has asserted itself with fierce pride.
The curiosity for the complexity of flavors and aromas moves the work of the Abbona winery in the direction of a constant daily search for new discoveries and more subtle refinements.
The Abbona winery was founded in 1970 and has its roots in the daily winemaking tradition, a passion for flavors and fragrances that are renewed generation after generation, with a cultural heritage that evolves with the best care and dedication.
The support of customers, who sustain the company with their appreciation, induce it at the same time to a progressive commitment of growth and improvement in this challenging but very rewarding activity.
