Barolo "Prapo" BIO DOCG

The Ceretto story begins in the 1930s with Riccardo Ceretto, originally from Valdivilla di Santo Stefano Belbo, who founded the winery in Alba on Corso Langhe. His sons Bruno and Marcello changed the company's direction from the 1960s by selecting and buying vineyards in some of the most prestigious parts of Langhe and Roero, including key Barolo and Barbaresco crus.

In that period the family acquired its first vineyard in Asili at Barbaresco and established the Bricco Asili winery, founded I Vignaioli di Santo Stefano for Moscato d'Asti in 1976, became owners of the Brunate and Prapo crus, and began building the Bricco Rocche winery at Castiglione Falletto.

Bricco Rocche Barolo debuted in the 1980s and Blange followed in 1985, after which the company moved its headquarters to Tenuta Monsordo Bernardina. The third generation, Alessandro, Federico, Lisa and Roberta, brought a new direction, including the restoration of the Cappella del Barolo in the Brunate vineyard at La Morra with the artists David Tremlett and Sol LeWitt.

The family now farms around 180 hectares across Langhe and Roero and achieved organic certification in 2015.
