The Molinetto Carrea Winery is an oenologic jewel in Gavi area, with 7 hectares of vineyard planted with the Cortese grape. Situated in Francavilla Bisio and Tassarolo, where the Piedmontese hills meet the sea breeze, Molinetto Carrea bases its production in the prestigious Gavi DOCG. This fragrant white wine is soft, fruity, and elegant, and is made from 100% Cortese grapes.
The Molinetto Winery is today managed by the
youngest son, Diego Carrea:
Degree in Electronic Engineering and Executive MBA, Computer Expert
first in Genoa, then in Milan.
Until October 2008, when Diego decides to choose the “road
less traveled”, to listen to his own “deep roots”:
come back home to continue the family wine business started by his
father Matteo and by his uncle Domenico since
1990.
His choice to work in the winery speaks of his love
for the land that daily strengthens the ties to
the winery's founders and renews the agricultural
traditions of lower Piedmont.
The Molinetto Company is part of the prestigious
Consortium of Gavi (www.consorziogavi.com), which certifies the
quality, reliability and transparency in the production process and
is member of Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti (www.fivi.it)
The product range consists of two labels: Gavi DOCG, an elegant and straight-forward wine that is aged in stainless steel; Re·Lys Gavi DOCG, produced with 100% Cortese grapes cultivated from historical vineyards.
I chose the road less traveled. I listened to my deep roots that told me to sustain the hard work of cultivating and caring for vineyards. The result? A Gavi DOCG that is essential, elegant and simple.
