Book this experienceCeretto
Ceretto works the Langhe from Monsordo Bernardina, its home estate just outside Alba, with separate cellars in Barolo at Castiglione Falletto and in Barbaresco. Three generations have built the house around single-vineyard Nebbiolo, from the Bricco Rocche monopole in Barolo to the Asili and Bernardot crus of Barbaresco, while the Langhe Arneis it sells as Blangè helped put that white grape on the map. The vineyards are farmed organically, and visitors are received in glass tasting pavilions set among the vines.

Book this experienceAbout Ceretto
Riccardo Ceretto founded the business in 1937, buying grapes to make wine at a time when few Langhe growers bottled under their own name. The shift that defined the estate came in the 1960s, when his sons Bruno and Marcello began mapping the hills around Alba and buying the parcels that gave the best fruit. They were among the first in the region to bottle single vineyards on their own, an idea now central to how Barolo and Barbaresco are read.
In Barolo, Ceretto farms Bricco Rocche at Castiglione Falletto, the smallest cru of the appellation and a monopole held by the family since 1982, alongside Prapò and the Brunate parcels above La Morra. The Barbaresco comes from Bricco Asili, where Asili and Bernardot are bottled separately. Back at Monsordo Bernardina the range widens to Nebbiolo d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba and the Langhe Arneis sold as Blangè, with Moscato d'Asti made at the family's I Vignaioli di Santo Stefano estate at Santo Stefano Belbo.
The estate is now run by the third generation, the cousins Lisa, Roberta, Alessandro and Federico Ceretto, with Alessandro as winemaker. They moved every vineyard to organic farming from 2010 and have been certified organic since the 2015 vintage, which places Ceretto among the largest certified-organic producers in Italy. Biodynamic and low-intervention work in the vineyard sits alongside the certification.
Ceretto is also one of the most visited estates in the Langhe. The cellar at Bricco Rocche carries a frameless glass cube added in 2000, and a second glass capsule called L'Acino was set above the vineyards in 2009, while Monsordo Bernardina has its own glass tasting room known as The Grape. Above La Morra the family owns the Chapel of Barolo, a former vineyard shelter on the Brunate cru that Sol LeWitt and David Tremlett painted inside and out in 1999, now a landmark of the hills. The estate has been named among the World's 50 Best Vineyards, and the Ceretto family also runs the restaurants Piazza Duomo and La Piola in Alba.
On italianwines.co.uk the producer is represented by its Barolo and Barbaresco crus, its Langhe and Alba wines and the Moscato d'Asti, so one estate covers most of the Langhe in a single place. Tastings run seven days a week by appointment for anyone who wants to taste the wines at the source.
