Ceretto Moscato d’Asti DOCG

Since 2017, our production has been certified organic, using lower yields and careful selection in the vineyard. In addition, with the 2023 harvest, we’ve introduced an innovation linked to reflections we’ve made for a few years now. We lightened our bottle packaging to reduce its environmental impact. The packages have been reduced but, above all, the bottles were redesigned as to weight, decreasing from the current 750 g to 650 g per whole bottle and from 500 g to 350 g per half bottle. And to keep up with the times, the ordinary cork closure that, in 1976, had been the Vignaioli’s great innovation with Moscato bottles, was abandoned. Instead, we’ve adopted screw caps, which are more functional and easier to use during service.

Description

It’s 1976 in Santo Stefano Belbo, a small town in the Langhe that faces the Asti zone, famous for its moscato grape and the success of the writer Cesare Pavese. Here, a group of wine growers increasingly feels the need for a radical change that re-instils quality in the production of Moscato wine, which has become too commercial. At the same time, two brothers who are writing a new chapter in the Langhe of Barolo and Barbaresco, targeting quality precisely, wish to return to their native land in the Valdivilla hamlet of Santo Stefano Belbo, where their family has its roots.

CERETTO

At that time, the Ceretto family had already redesigned their labels and created the innovative graphic of the “slashed” label for the Arneis Blangè. In 1989, Giacomo Bersanetti, one of the most talented Italian designers, was invited to think up a new label and shape of the bottle. Cesare Pavese and his most famous book, The Moon and the Bonfires, were the inspiration. This gave rise to a Moon that forms the label and the Bonfire in the shape of the bottle.

With the third generation of the Cerettos and the second of the Scavinos, these families continue to produce Moscato with the same original idea: top quality, always keeping an eye on the latest innovations.
