The Tenuta Carretta Collection

Tenuta Carretta is an 80-hectare estate rooted in the heart of Piedmont, with vineyards stretching across the hills of Roero and the Langhe, on either side of the Tanaro River. In Roero, just north of Alba, 35 hectares surround the winery's headquarters, while the remaining 45 hectares extend into the marly slopes of the Langhe to the south. These two distinct terroirs—Roero’s younger, sandier, and more permeable soils, and Langhe’s older, marly formations—shape wines with remarkable diversity and character. From fragrant, elegant expressions to structured, age-worthy bottles, the unique interplay of soil, climate, and limited yields define Tenuta Carretta’s approach to quality-driven viticulture in one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions.
