The best wineries in Castiglione Falletto.
The wineries of the Langhe are rich in history and tradition, and often are custodians of the valuable Barolo. No exception to the cellar of Livia Fontana in Castiglione Falletto, an eight–hectare estate that produces: Nebbiolo for Barolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Arneis. The vineyards are cultivated with particular attention to the natural balance of the soil, with full manual processes, from pruning to harvest.
Respect for tradition, the pursuit of quality and love for the land are the points of strength of this company.
The estate has been owned by the Fontana family for seven generations and currently is followed by Livia together with Renzo and their children Michele and Lorenzo.
The Nebbiolo grape, since immemorial time, is the symbol and the most valuable vine of the Langhe of Alba’s viticulture, and, when it finds the right combination with a terroir of great vocation it is able to express itself at sublime levels in a wine with a strong personality, intensity of aromas, great velvety tannins and the possibility of a great evolution and durability over time.
The members of the Giuseppe Mascarello family have been dealing with viticulture for over a century and a half, first as stewards of the Marchioness Giulia Colbert Faletti of Barolo, in the management of Cascina Manescotto in La Morra municipality, then, towards the end of the nineteenth century, on their own.
In 1920 Gentleman Lorenzo Scavino began to vinify part of the grapes prodouced in the vineyards by his family, a small peasant reality in the heart of Langhe, in Castiglione Falletto.
His son Alfonso began with enthusiasm to bottle the wine produced and thanks to Luigi’s father, Lorenzo, with perseverance and will, the wines were exported for the first time.
Azienda Agricola Azelia, in the center of the production area of Barolo, today consists of 16 hectares and produces an average of 80,000 bottles per year. Louis is helped by his wife Lorella and their son Lorenzo, who now represents the fifth generation of winemakers. The family management is essential as it allows an extreme accuracy in every step of production.
Great attention is paid to the work in the vineyards. The wine is made in the vineyard, from ancient vines, which produce very few clusters. The low yields are further reduced by green harvesting, which is essential to select the fruits, to have a uniform maturation and an impeccable quality.
Fundamental is a scrupulous attention to the wine cellar where respect for tradition does not exclude the contribution of modern techniques.
Starting from 1974 some wines by Vietti have been dressed with original artworks created on purpose by artists and inspired by the wine of each specific vintage.
The print run matches the number of bottles produced and the first hundred are signed by artists. Each artwork is used only once, exclusively for the wine of a specific vintage. Since 1988, on the occasion of the presentation of Barolo Villero 1982, the Author label has been dedicated to the wine of this great vineyard.
Alfredo Corrado tells: «The idea was conceived around a bottle of Barolo Rocche. A winter evening a group of friends, some of which artists, and I, were tasting some bottles of Barolo. Just seeing the color of the wine in the glass, they were thrilled and said that these wines deserved to be ennobled with different from the usual dresses: what they deserved were Artists’ labels. In the euphoria of that moment we made a list of Artists, and the day after that airy idea took concrete shape».
In the land of Barolo there is a family that has always been associated with wine: the Brovia family. The company was founded in 1863 and is located in Castiglione Falletto. It has always been very careful about the importance of the terroir and has managed, with time, to select and then to buy large vineyards in the Barolo area: Rocche, Villero and Garblèt Suè in Castiglione Falletto and Ca’Mia and Brea in Serralunga d’Alba.
Thus, the philosophy of the Winery is to propose great personality Barolo wines, prodocued an vinified all in the same way, but with very specific and clean characteristics, always different among them. Barolo wines that faithfully reflect the richness of our great Langa vineyards.
At the gates of Castiglione Falletto, the heart of the Barolo area, on the slopes of Bricco Boschis, Tenuta Vitivinicola Cavallotto is located, which extends over an area of 25 hectares, 23 of which are vineyards. The Cavallotto have been owners and producers for five generations and in 1948, continuing the work of grandfather Giacomo, Giuseppe’s father, and uncle Marcello, the brothers Olivio and Gildo were the first in the area to work as direct farmers, to dedicate themselves to the vinification of their own grapes and the marketing of their wines. Still today, the sons and daughter of Olivio (Laura, Giuseppe and Alfio) continue to make wine exclusively from the grapes grown on the estate, and from their transformation they get D.O.C. and D.O.C.G. wines: Barolo, Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Nebbiolo Langhe, Freisa Langhe, Grignolino Piemonte, Pinot Langhe, Chardonnay Langhe.
The winery was founded in 1950 as a company producing and selling grapes for winemaking. The approach to the production of wine began in the seventies before being crowned twenty years later, in the nineties, when David Mozzono, the current owner, began to bottle the full production of the farm, addressing wines to the domestic and international markets.
The winery in Castiglione Falletto was built in 1982, the structure modern in design while in complete harmony with the surrounding landscape. Only Barolo is produced here, from the grapes grown on the 11 estate hectares situated in the villages of La Morra, Serralunga d'Alba, Castiglione Falletto and Barolo. Though small in numerical terms, the production excels in quality. The addition of the striking and artistic glass Cube in 2000 has made Bricco Rocche one of the most unique and admired wineries in the area, a symbol and an assurance of the quality of the wines produced here.
A name. A family. The name is that of the founder, Paolo Scavino, who in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Langhe, in one of the historic towns of Barolo, gave birth to the farm and started immediately to bottle the best wine.
The name remained, even after the passing of Paolo Scavino. It is a memory, a sign of affection, of gratitude. Today there are two generations of Scavino. Enrico has followed in the footsteps of dad Paolo since he was a child, and has seen the fruits of their labor grow. Step by step, almost on tiptoe, Enrico and Anna Maria are taking over the company bringing new passion and expertise.
A family history of men and women of Langa, tied to the land, to the vineyards, to the paces of the ancient province of Piedmont. It seems to see the roots of the Scavino family in these lands that are the fortune of those born there: here they produce Barolo, made exclusively with native Nebbiolo grapes, one of the greatest wines of the world.
