Director commercial Francesco MORETTI
The Farm MORETTI DIONIGI E MATTEO has been working in
the Roero since 1630 as it comes out from the ancient registers of landed
property in Monteu Roero. At the present time the farmstead, consisting of
several plots of land in the villages of Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero,
Montaldo Roero and
Govone, has a whole expanse of
40 hectares among which 25 with vineyard. The Moretti’s firm only wine-makes the grapes grown in its own
vineyard. The wine quality is initially obtained in the vineyard, the
treatment experienced is therefore as natural as possible: hence no chemical
weed-killers, natural manuring, special system of
pruning aimed at privileging quality rather than quantity, restricted and
carefully chosen use of chemicals in fighting any fungous attacks and of animal
parasites, care in the grape-harvesting.
Skilful working allows gaining the important purpose of the product
quality and genuineness in the respect of tradition and, at the same time,
following up the most advanced enological techniques.
Our farm produces the most important quality wines of Roero: Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC, Roero DOC,
Roero Arneis DOC, Barbera d’Alba
DOC, Langhe Rosso DOC Vadonia barrique.
