Tenuta Carretta

Tenuta Carretta, located in the homonymous hamlet that takes its name from a gypsum bank nearby, has been known and mentioned from the 12th century for its vineyards; it was purchased and reestablished in 1985 by the Miroglio family. Of the 80 estate-owned hectares (found in both Langhe and Roero), 25.5 belong to the denomination and are found on the hills surrounding the estate, among which the most important location of the municipality, Bric Paradiso. 22 hectares are planted with Arneis and 3.5 with Nebbiolo. It is worth noting that the Arneis vineyards are found on soils with the largest content of gypsum lodes.
