CASETTA CARLO Az. Agr.

In Montà, in the Cuneo area, Casetta Carlo unites four of the most prestigious `DOCG` denominations for Piedmontese red wines, yet built on just two grape varieties. `Dolcetto` yields the most immediate wines, in the forms of `Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba` and `Dogliani`; `Nebbiolo` embarks on the long journey of aging as `Barbaresco` and `Barolo`, the two major expressions of the estate. The distance between these two souls lies entirely in the production specifications: `Barolo` demands 38 months of maturation and at least 13% alcohol, `Barbaresco` 26 months and 12.5%, while the `Dolcetto` wines adhere to their own criteria. This geometry of rules guides every winery choice, from aging in wood to market release, and reflects a disciplined approach that places the expression of the vintage at its core. Four `DOCG`s, two grapes: the production from Montà tells the story of Piedmontese red wine through the contrast between the readiness of `Dolcetto` and the patience that `Nebbiolo` demands in its most rigorous denominations.
