Ceretto – Monsordo – 2014

The Ceretto family has represented the Langhe area since 1800, Bruno and Marcello, sons of the founder Riccardo, are the pioneers of a great project focused on revolution and innovation without ever abandoning their roots and trying to make the potential of the area known worldwide. .
They are among the first in the Langhe to believe in the concept of “cru” and select the vineyards in the historically most suitable positions and in 1986 they are defined as the “Barolo Brothers” by the famous magazine Wine Spectator.
Today the children Lisa, Roberta, Alessandro and Federico have taken over the company and the hectares owned have become 160 and since 2015 the winery has obtained organic certification.

We are talking about the 90s when the Ceretto family decided to break out of the box and tried to plant international varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, to observe their potential and limits in the Piedmont area. After some experiments it was decided to make a single wine by assembling the three different varieties to obtain a wine that bears the name of the estate where it is vinified, Monsordo. The Barolo Brothers managed to produce a red with a typically international profile without failing to stand out with a distinctly Piedmontese accent!
