With the 'Gallina', Ceretto completes the Barbaresco collection with the new cru Gallina. This vineyard, recently acquired, is one of the symbols of Neive. This vineyard has a great expressive strength, and this motivation convinced us to debut in the market with the first vinification. A rich and flavorful wine, floral, with hints of underbrush completing the aromatic picture. On the palate, it is enticing and satisfies without bringing any sense of weakness: it is firm, chewable but refined.

THE WINE
With the 'Gallina', Ceretto completes the collection of Barbaresco with the new cru Gallina. This vineyard, a very recent acquisition, is one of the symbols of Neive. This vineyard has a great expressive strength, and that motivation convinced us to debut in the market with the first vinification. A rich and flavorful wine, floral, with hints of underbrush completing the aromatic picture. In the mouth, it is alluring and satisfies without carrying any sense of yielding: it is firm, chewable, but refined.
THE PHILOSOPHY
Our vineyards are cultivated according to the model of organic farming, which avoids the excessive exploitation of natural resources, following a sustainable development model for nature and man, that can last over time.
The term Organic Farming indicates a cultivation method that allows the use of only natural substances, that is, those present in nature, excluding the use of synthetic chemical substances (fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides). All our vineyards (160 hectares in total) have been converted to organic farming from 2010 to today. A revolutionary choice that radically changes the vineyard management methods, aimed at greater respect for the soil, the grapes, and man. In 2016, we obtained certification with the 2015 harvest, and the first organic wines were bottled.
THE COMPANY
Selecting the vineyards in historically valid positions was the goal of the two brothers Bruno and Marcello Ceretto. This idea, derived from a trip to Burgundy, would prove beneficial for the family and make Barolo and Barbaresco among the most appreciated wines in the world. A revolution, at the time, for a territory where the concept of cru was totally unknown, but, above all, a brilliant intuition. A real struggle, theirs, undertaken with their father Riccardo, who bought the grapes to then vinify them. "You are starting a difficult journey; the land has never created wealth for anyone," Riccardo used to say, but the stubborn Bruno and Marcello had no doubts: "we are for the land one hundred percent; the cellar counts a little, anyway, great wines are made with the grapes." They then began to dream of labels that bear the name of the vineyard and on which its photograph also appears: "this way, whoever drinks that wine has the vineyard from which it comes under their eyes. The vineyard is history; the names of the hills remain over time, do not change, and this strengthens the quality and credibility of the wines produced here. A vineyard you can search for, visit, touch, always." In 1986, The Wine Spectator, perhaps the most influential American magazine in the wine world, featured the two Langhe brothers on the cover, calling them Barolo Brothers. Bruno and Marcello are under 50 years old, but they are not overwhelmed by what is an official consecration, which everyone aspires to but few manage to obtain. Today they have remained true to themselves, have not stopped dreaming, and are fighting for a just goal. Meanwhile, the Langa has grown with them and with those, like them, who prioritize the name of the land that made them born and accompanied them throughout their lives.
