Wine production in this region is generally a small and family run business and is not a very commercial venture like some of the other parts of Italy. Wine in this region is a way of life. Attention is given to the minute details, especially when it comes to the production of the top wines.
Where it all began
The Cerretto winery in Piedmont Italy was established in 1937. Today it is one of the most admirable and respected of the Piedmont wineries. The company currently has four wineries, producing a wide range of wines right from desserts wines, spirits, still wines and sparkling wines. The Bricco Asili estate was their first estate. The motto here was high quality and low volume. This winery was also the first to use fermentation tanks made out of stainless steel.
Some of their famous wines
