The Ceretto Family: Climbing Through the Cru
The Ceretto winery was founded in the 1930s: Riccardo Ceretto, who did not own any vineyards, produced wine from grapes he purchased. The turning point came when his sons Bruno and Marcello joined the business, with their innovative thinking for the time: the importance of the soil. Though this seems obvious today, memories of the poverty of rural life in the Langhe region were still fresh, and Riccardo was reluctant to invest in purchasing land. But Bruno and Marcello (his sons) had the vineyards of Burgundy in mind, which had been producing excellent wines for over a century thanks to a model that considered the characteristics of each vineyard – the French word cru is still used today. The Ceretto family is a group with a shared vision, that make decisions together, guided by respect for expertise: they give those who have something to contribute – to the company, and to the territory – the tools to achieve that vision. Every single project they undertake bears the genetic imprint and expresses the same values.
