The best wineries in La Morra.
The Corino brothers divided the property of their father Giovanni into two separate companies at the beginning of 2006. The company of Renato is located in the Arborina area about 1 km from the original company. Renato produces exclusive Barbera Vigna Pozzo and Barolo Vigneto Rocche. Barolo Arborina, normal Barolo, Barolo Vecchie Vigne, Dolcetto and Barbera are produced by both the Corino companies.
Our small sizes allow an easy management, yet, a family management: his wife Daniela and his brother Elio soon chose to support Mauro dealing, the first with the welcoming of visitors and of the office, and the second, thanks to his experience, with the management of vineyards. The company currently consists of approximately 12 hectares, between La Morra and Monforte d’Alba, and the average annual production is of about 60,000 bottles, of which almost half of Barolo DOCG.
The choice to focus on quality characterizes at all stages of production.
A minor amount of bunches per vine means less stress and more natural rhythms for the plants, which in addition to promoting optimum ripeness of the grapes, they are healthier and more resistant to pests. The treatments are reduced to a minimum, using almost exclusively the traditional sulfur and copper sulphate, also used in organic farming as they have proved to be non–toxic to humans, nor for the environment.
Respect for nature, for life and for our territory, and the search for a balance in the result, are the key elements that guide our choices. It is our philosophy of life, beyond traditionalist or of innovators stereotypes.
We have a country, we have roots that date back to the late eighteenth century.
We have a great–little story to tell, that of our family, our wine cellars, our vineyards, located in the most important municipalities of the Barolo and Barbaresco areas. We will tell it to all the wine lovers who come to visit us and taste our wines.
It is difficult to state with certainty a start date of winemaking, as the vineyards and the farms have always belonged to the Oddero family, as attested by municipal documents of the eigteenth century. We go back with writings, deeds and photographs to our ancestors Giovanni Battista (1794–1874), Lorenzo e Luigi, who at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centures started making wine from the grapes grown in their own vineyards in the La Morra municipality, an idyllic village with wide horizons covering all High Langa.
It was thanks to them, that the Oddero wine took the ways of the world, first sold in small barrels and carboys and then from 1878 in the bottle. In 1911 Giacomo Oddero, grandfather of the current Giacomo, participated with pride in the International Exhibition in Turin with his Barolo, taking part in the tasting organized by the Subalpine Wine Club, on the 50th anniversary of the Unification of Italy.
Today, after 150 years of operation, the historic company is managed by the sisters Mariacristina and Mariavittoria, women of wine, who succeeded their father Giacomo and are supported by their young children who give freshness and innovation to the wise tradition.
After long and challenging works, the new winery in Fontane di La Morra locality have been completed, where the processing related to the 2006 harvest have been accomplished with excellent results.
Enzo Boglietti is a family run company which started to vinify grapes from the vineyards of property, more or less 2.5 hectares, in 1991, to reach gradually the 21 hectares for a total of 75,000 bottles a year.
Enzo devotes himself to the direction and the eclectic management, while his brother Gianni, who has been working with him since 1996, deals with the vineyards’ management, with the indefatigable support of their father Renato.
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.
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.
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.
Family farm of about six hectares divided into three different kind of production:
two hectares dedicated to Dolcetto, two to Barbera and two to nebbiolo grapes for Barolo wine.
All the vineyards are located in La Morra, in the little village of Santa Maria where the cellar, called Prima, is situated.
Up to 1987 I gave all the grapes to the local cooperative wine growers' association.
Since 1987 vintage, I have started to produce on my own.
The Grasso family have been making wine since 1927, but have only bottling all their production since the mid-1980s, when Alessio Federico (the current proprietor) took over from his father Silvio. He now farms 11 hectares (27 acres), 5 estate-owned and 6 leased, with his wife Marilena, and their sons Paolo, an enologist Food Technology degree, and Silvio.
