The "Granda" (large) Province of Cuneo in Piedmont, is a land which is rich in excellent wines and flourishing wine estates, thanks to the splendid hillside settings of the Langhe, Roero, Dogliani and Mondovì areas; all featuring land and soil conditions which are specifically suited to vine cultivation and wine production; wines which are being increasingly widely acclaimed worldwide.
The "Cerrino wine estate" is located in this same Langhe hillsde setting, in hamlet known as Cappelletto, forming part of the commune of Trezzo Tinella.
The Cerrino family has for the past 150 years been cultivating vines, the intrinsic passion for wine and grape cultivation having been handed down through the generations.
The company was taken over by Sergio in 1988, who putting to best use his experience and quality of the land, further expanded and modernized the company, making use of the most advanced technological aids for the various production processes (from grape ripening to bottling), thereby ensuring the finest quality wines.
The estate extends over 9 hectares, the vines having s South-easterly exposure, and is cultivated with Moscato d'Asti, Dolcetto d'Alba, Langhe Chardonnay, Langhe Nebbiolo, Langhe Favorita, Barbera d'Alba.
In order to ensure the traceability and the characteristic nature of our wines, we have a well defined pest control programme, with green vine pruning and pre - harvesting thinning.
In recent years there has been a massive trend towards wine and food tourism, featuring a revival in interest in wines in particular, especially amongst young people. This is thanks to the many sommelier courses on offer, aimed at enhancing appreciation in fine wines. This has led to a great interest in visits to wine cellars. This allows wine connoisseurs to taste the wines and the ask all the relevant questions on the origins and transformation of the grape and the features of the wines, and this often involves a visit to the vineyards and to the actual wine making cellars.
We give priority to our customer base, as it is our customers who, on tasting our wines, have recommended other friends and acquaintances to come and visit our cellars. Where they have been able to enjoy informal surroundings and the advantage of direct contact with the producers themselves, while enjoying a wonderful day out in the Langhe countryside.
We have for this purpose set up a pleasant wine tasting room, where you can taste our wines while admiring traditional ancient wine making implements.
Advance booking is preferred for wine tasting and/or visits to our cellars.
