Az. Ag. Cortino

The winery was founded in the early 70s where Gianpaolo was one of the founding members. Currently our company is family-run and we are located right in the heart of the Langhe, Diano d'Alba, a town of ancient origins that takes its name from the temple dedicated to Diana, the goddess of hunting. We believe in our territory, a typical area of ​​Dolcetto and we produce 6 types of this grape variety... yes, you understood correctly, 6 types and to be precise: Sorì La Rocca, Sori Santa Lucia, Diano, Diano without added sulphites, Langhe Dolcetto, Passito di Dolcetto. Obviously our production does not stop only at Dolcetto, we have the whole range typical of the Langhe and among the white wines we produce Arneis, Chardonnay, Moscato, while as red wines Barbera d'Alba, Nebbiolo d'Alba. In 2018 we came out with our classic method "Anteprima" of 30 months with aging on the lees, Anteprima because it anticipates our long-awaited Alta Langa D.0.C.G. Starting from January 2020 we will have another novelty, our first Barolo 2016 grown in the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba with Sorano subzone. In cultivation and winemaking we try to blend modern techniques with traditional ones in full respect of nature, because first of all we are the ones who work both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
