Located in Piobesi d’Alba, in the Roero region of Piedmont, Tenuta Carretta is one of the oldest wineries in Italy. In 2012, with the acquisition of the Malgrà vineyards and cellar, the estate expanded into the nearby Monferrato area, now counting nearly 50 hectares there. In total, the estate owns over 130 hectares across Monferrato, Roero, and Langhe – the most prestigious areas for fine wine production in Piedmont. Tenuta Carretta is a proud member of The Grand Wine Tour, a network of Italian wineries that combine winemaking excellence with outstanding hospitality.
