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.
The Estate is located in the Roero, north of the Tanaro River and the city of Alba. The territory emerged from the sea a”er the Langhe during the Ter$ary Pliocene era. Here, the soil is sandstone, or sedimentary rocks derived from the compac$on of sand. This gives the land an overall so”ness and excellent permeability.
The interac$on of the soil, microclimate, and vine varie$es, together with the limited quan$ty of grapes produced per hectare, give this area’s wine unique characteris$cs. Sandier soils produce aroma$c, elegant wines; where the sands mix with calcareous marl, the wines gain greater austerity.
Tenuta Carre a produces its wines exclusively from grapes harvested from its vineyard proper$es. In the cellar, the objec$ve is to transfer the balance and harmony naturally found in the vineyards to the bo le.
Today, the winery offers a range of products from the Classic (tradi$onal) to the Crowns line (versa$le and best-selling) to the premium Reserve wines as the library collec$on of Barolo Cannubi Riserva (only 1260 bo les each vintage) that represent the uniqueness, the elegance and the pres$ge of the winery.
With reference to “The Classics” range of wines, it is about everyday and tradi$onal white and red wines, with great drinkability and pleasantness.
With the arrival of the new vintages, the winery has introduced a restyling of the labels that is very important for them: they have taken back one of the labels from their past, which represents the pres$ge and the historical importance of the estate. This choice further iden$fies Tenuta Carre a as one of the most historic and pres$gious wineries in Piedmont, expression of tradi$on and elegance.
The wines under this range are Gavi DOCG, Piemonte DOC Chardonnay, Dolce o d’Alba DOC, Barbera d’Alba DOC, Piemonte DOC Barbera, Nebbiolo d’ Alba DOC and Moscato d’As$ DOCG.
