Tenuta Carretta

Passion for wine since 1467

Tenuta Carretta is located in the south of Piedmont, in Piobesi d’Alba, in Roero. It is a winery with a rich story, one of the most historic Italian wineries where past, present and future are integrated in the best way.

Tenuta Carretta is a splendid winery that sets the stage of an amphitheatre of unique and evocative vineyards. They make up a part of the touristic ‘wine mosaic’ through which visitors can follow a guided trail through the vineyards.
Guided visits to the winery, two high-end restaurants (one at the winery and the other in Barolo on the Cannubi hill), the elegant Charme Hotel and a welcoming Enoteca – Wine Shop, make up the rest of the mosaic.

In the 35 hectares that makeup a single plot that extends south to northwest as an amphitheatre around the winery

The vineyards of Cascina Bordino, 6.5 hectares of nebbiolo, like those of Garassino (4.5 hectares) are instead found in the municipality of Treiso and are destined for the production for its corresponding Barbaresco. While the nebbiolo grapes coming from the vineyard Tavoleto, in the municipality of Alba (8 hectares), produce its namesake Nebbiolo d’Alba.
Finally, dolcetto, which is found in its best habitat, in the vineyards of the Il Palazzofarmhouse, located in Madonna Como (Alba), where the namesake Dolcetto d’Alba is produced.
The grapes used in the production of the Alta Langa “Airali”, in the “Brut” and “Pas dosé” versions, come from the vineyards located in the municipality of Cissone.

In the vineyard, the productive philosophy of Tenuta Carretta are based in themes of sustainability(environmental, technical and economical). This is implemented through the use of integrated viticulture techniques, that allow for a limited use of chemical treatments for only when they are indispensable to protecting the harmonious development of the plant.
