Since, he is one of the most acclaimed wine producers of Barolo. Now, the estate covers 8.5 hectares of vineyards around La Morra, with high planting densities producing tiny yields. There are 6 different parcels of in a range of Barolo crus: Brunate, Cerequio, Capalot, La Serra, Pozzo dell'Anunziata and Sarmassa di Barolo, which are all sources for individual cuvées. He also produces some Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba and Langhe Nebbiolo.
Il Cerreto Barbera d’Alba is made from Barbera from the town of La Morra, harvested from mid-to the end of September. The fermentation happens in steel and ageing lasts 12 months in tonneaux and barrels of 25 hectolitres,30% of which are new. It is followed by 8 months in steel. Despite tricky beginnings, the 2016 vintage for Piedmont was extremely good.
