Saracco
The village of Casiglione Tinella is uniquely situated between two of the most well known towns in the Piedmont; Alba and San Stefano Belbo. Grapes were first cultivated in the hills surrounding Castiglione Tinella in the 1600's and though many different grape varieties were planted Moscato proved to be the perfect grape for this appellation.
Luigi Saracco, the great grandfather of Paolo began growing Moscato grapes in the early 1900's. With each generation the legacy and commitment to quality continues. Paolo Saracco grew up in the vineyards and even at an early age had a desire to make a wine with the family name. Upon completion of his Enological studies, Paolo began experimenting not only with new winemaking techniques, but also a more modern vineyard management style.
The vineyards belonging to the Saracco family are in a perfect micro-climate for Moscato: the soil is comprised of limestone mixed with sandy veins and the elevation provides just the right temperature and humidity balance. Vineyard management and strict control over the wine-making process has resulted in consistent acclaim in the press and strong loyalty from Paolo Saracco’s customer base making him the leader of this important and unique Piedmont wine.
