FOCUS ON

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.

Malgrà starts with the letter B.
Might not be the first in class, but the one you want to spend all your afternoons with.

It has the B of Barbera, the main variety of Monferrato, originating from property vineyards and vinified into several single vineyards in the heart of the Nizza DOCG area.
The B of Bubbles, traditional and Martinotti – Charmat methods, bringing the great Piedmontese sparkling wine tradition to everyday tables.
And also, the B of BEVICISÙ, which rediscovers the lively taste of wine in a fun, genuine and authentic way.
BEVICISÙ expresses conviviality, sharing, stories, friendship, happiness, pleasure, and—above all—the desire to be together. The idea is to combine great quality wine with Piedmontese traditions: Piemonte DOC Barbera, Piemonte DOC Viognier-Sauvignon and Piemonte DOC Rosato.
The choice to use large format Magnums, called Pintun in Piedmontese, and 0,75 Lt. botles is another symbol of sharing and drinking in good company, following the long-held traditons of the Piedmontese people when families and friends happily passed the tme together at the table.
This range of wines is composed by 3 wines:

Piemonte DOC Barbera: the frst born in the Bevicisù family. After the Barbera grapes are harvested, they are destemmed and crushed. Must and skins undergo a pre-fermentaton cold maceraton to extract the aromas and fruity flavours. Alcoholic fermentaton is developed at approximately 25°C to preserve freshness and acidity and is then followed by the malolactc fermentaton. The wine is then aged for 6 months in stainless steel tanks for 6 months.
The result is a very pleasant everyday wine, with intense aromas of ripe fruit and black cherry, with a light spicy note. In the mouth it is mellow, pleasantly velvety and harmonious

Piemonte DOC Rosato: 100% Barbera grape harvested in the Monferrato property vineyards. It has an appealing light powder pink colour thanks to the very short maceraton of the skins and a great aroma of fowers, red currant and a spicy note. In the mouth, it is sapid, harmonious and smooth.

Piemonte DOC Viognier-Sauvignon: it is a very balanced blend of Viognier and Sauvignon with a very nice straw yellow colour with golden hints. The aroma is intense, with notes of fowers and tropical fruit. In the mouth it is dry and fresh, with a pleasant sapid touch.

“In the Monferrato, land of abundant Barbera, we cultivate our passion: making great wines”
This statement by Giorgio Chiarle, soul of the Bonfante & Chiarle winery, speaks volumes about the company’s main goals: bring in the bottle, store and transmit intact to the glass the balance and harmony of the raw material obtained in the vineyard.
Bonfante & Chiarle was founded 1908 in Mombaruzzo, but its present structure was finalized in 1975 thanks to Luciano Chiarle, Giorgio Chiarle and Domenico Bonfante, following in the footsteps of their fathers and their grandfathers before them, who were all dedicated winemakers that have lived for this passion.
Thus, Bonfante & Chiarle has continued this entrepreneurial tradition in the Monferrato hills through a venture that aimed at promoting a new kind of development based on the relationship with the territory and the passion for excellent and certified wine.
Continuous investments allow to Bonfante & Chiarle to introduce to the market with pair Tradition/vineyard and Technology to establish production in respect of experience, but with contemporary forecast and in step with customer tastes and his increasing oenological knowledge.
Therefore, Bonfante & Chiarle offers a perfect Langa and Monferrato wine selection and shows out- and-out peculiarity. Today, Bonfante & Chiarle is part of Miroglio family properties, a project of men and territory, that shoots for continuous research of quality.
Bonfante & Chiarle Moscato d’Asti DOCG “Dosman” embodies the essence of the Monferrato tradition and territory right from the name, which in the Piedmontese dialect means sweetly, gently, lovingly.
In Piedmont, Moscato Bianco grapes are witnesses of centuries of history and those that come from the vineyard that produces “Dosman” are excellent for producing high quality wines. The slow fermentation, carried out at low temperatures, is halted when the must reaches 5.5% of alcohol content, producing a wine that perfectly expresses the aroma, freshness and characteristics of the grape of origin.
Thanks to the rapid vinification process, “Dosman” new 2024 vintage will be available as early as the next few months to delight you with its fresh aroma, characterized by the typical notes of white flowers, lemon, sage and ginger.
Cheers!
