Ceretto was born as a family business in the early 1930s by the hand of Riccardo Ceretto. Thanks to his sons, Bruno and Marcello, the company's vineyards expand into the Langhe and Roero, giving rise to what are now recognized as the company's great Barolo and Barbaresco crus. Marcello in particular brings this winery to success with the concreteness and simplicity of a true winegrower, so much so that years later he declares: "All I know is a gift from the years spent waiting for gems and fruit, to fear for clouds coming to close to the harvest, to listen to the wind that announces the hail, to watch the sun beating on the stump, to prune and see pruned, to take a handful of earth, close the fist, open it to see how the earth is crumbling, or stays thickened. "

Ceretto

Today the company has about 160 hectares of owned vineyards arranged between the DOCG Barolo, the DOCG Barbaresco and the Blangé vineyards. The undisputed master is Nebbiolo , which since 2010 follows the dictates of biodynamic agriculture together with Barbaresco, while for the other vines Ceretto follows the organic approach, with the intention, however, to extend all production to biodynamics. From the great crus such as Bricco Rocche - the smallest vineyard of the entire Barolo appellation - or Asili as regards Barbaresco, wines are born that are now true cult of this terroir, appreciated and sought after by enthusiasts and critics of all. the world.

Ceretto white wine

The most famous white wine of the Ceretto winery is the Ceretto Blangé Roero Arneis, obtained exclusively from an indigenous Piedmontese variety, the Arneis, vinified in purity in steel to maintain the primary aromas of the grapes. As often happens in Piedmont, also for Ceretto the Arneis is the only white in a universe of red wines and for this reason it represents a continuous challenge for the Ceretto family.
