The secret to success for Ceretto Winery in Piedmont is owed to the exceptional soil and climate of the Langhe and the proprietors’ passion and wisdom to capture this quality in the wine. Ceretto understood this in the 1930s when he began winemaking. His sons Bruno and Marcello completed their father’s vision when they purchased vineyards in what are today some of the most celebrated zones of Barolo and Barbaresco. In the winery’s 3 estates Ceretto produces the great Barolo and Barbaresco wines that are flagships of their production, along with other labels such as white Langhe Arneis Blangé and high quality Moscato. Then, in 2009, The Grape was built at the Monsordo Bernardina winery.
