Production and refinement

This is a pure Nebbiolo from the Boscatto vineyard, facing east and situated at an altitude of 290 meters. The vineyard is characterized by a white, calcareous-clay soil. The grapes are hand-picked, with only the best clusters selected and placed in perforated 20 kg crates.

The grapes undergo a 20-day maceration in stainless steel tanks, with daily cap punching. The wine is then aged for 32 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by an additional month in steel tanks. Finally, it matures for another 6 months in the bottle before release.

Castello di Verduno

The history of the Burlotto family is intimately tied to the Castello di Verduno since the early 1900s, when they continued the winemaking tradition started by the House of Savoy. In fact, it was in 1838 that King Carlo Alberto purchased the castle, beginning the production of Nebbiolo wines.

The wines from Cantine Castello di Verduno embody this rich heritage, adhering to traditional winemaking methods, with long aging periods in large oak barrels. They specialize in producing classic wines that are ideal for aging, reflecting the region's longstanding winemaking legacy.

Castello di Verduno

The wines produced by the Burlotto family are the result of an almost magical blend of tradition, respect for nature, and deep enological expertise.

With 12 hectares of vineyards, the Burlotto family continues to carry on this tradition, offering wines that tell the story of the entire Verduno territory.

Piedmont

In Piedmont, the first traces of viticulture date back to pre-Roman times (precisely to the Bronze Age, around 1500 B.C.), and although today the peak of quality is found in the region's great red wines, Piedmont also produces excellent white wines and sparkling wines.

The role of Piedmont has been fundamental for the development of modern Italian winemaking. It is here that the first examples of zoning of wine-growing areas were recorded, introducing concepts such as terroir and cru to Italian wines. Thanks to zoning, if a wine is produced exclusively from grapes coming from a single vineyard or parcel, the geographical indication appears on the label, increasing its prestige.

In addition to the geographical delineations indicated on the map, Piedmont is divided into 8 zones that group the 16 DOCG and 42 regional DOCs. Among these, we remember in the north the famous Gattinara DOCG and Ghemme DOCG, near Turin the Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, in Monferrato the Barbera del Monferrato Superiore DOCG, Brachetto d’Acqui DOCG, Dogliani DOCG, Ovada DOCG, Gavi DOCG, and Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOCG, ending with Roero DOCG to the left of the Tanaro river and, in the Langhe region, with the famous Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Dogliani DOCG.

In Piedmont, the revolution in the world of wine began, bringing Italy back to the forefront of high-quality production. Here, with few exceptions, single-varietal wines are produced, which best express the characteristics of the terroir and magnificently exalt the Piedmontese territory.

Langhe

Langhe, a unique territory for Italian wine production. The presence of valleys and hills at different altitudes, along with different exposures and winds, creates an incredible variety of microclimates. These conditions allow the grapes to express themselves in various ways. The Dogliani area has the coolest climate, being close to the Alps and characterized by narrow and high hill ridges facing the cold plains of Cuneo. The Barolo area has intermediate temperatures, being located in a particular area protected from winds but influenced both by Alpine currents and by warm and humid air rising from the Tanaro valley.

The three hill ridges that make up the area determine a diversity of landscapes and, consequently, microclimates. The Barbaresco area is more homogeneous, with milder temperatures and less abundant rainfall. The landscape characterized by narrow valleys generates greater windiness compared to the two previous areas.

The soils vary: calcareous-marly, clayey, sandy, and gravelly. The main grape varieties cultivated are Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Arneis, Freisa, and Favorita, and then there are international varieties such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc.
The Langhe, renowned Italian wine territory, boast a variety of unique microclimates and landscapes, from Dogliani to Barolo and Barbaresco, which influence the production of complex and distinctive wines thanks to the different soils and exposures.
