THE VINEYARDS

THE STRENGTH OF OUR LAND

The vineyards of the Cantine Crola are located in the territory of Mezzomerico, a village in the Alto Piemonte area, nestled in the Colline Novaresi. Mezzomerico’s greatest wealth has always been its landscape, which is green and hilly. It ends in the south with the Po Valley, going up to the Ticino valley. To the north, it reaches the Alps and the magnificent Monte Rosa massif, which can be perfectly seen from our vineyards.

Alto Piemonte boasts a winemaking heritage that goes all the way back to ancient times. It has been a land of great grapes for centuries, most notably the Nebbiolo, which found its vocation here.

We are at the foot of the Alps, and the particular composition of the land combined with a favourable microclimate have been determining factors in the quality of the wines from this area. The Nebbiolo grape is accustomed to the autumn mists because it ripens very late. It has good resistance against the strong thermal variations of the local climate and benefits from the cool temperatures coming from the mountains.

The form of cultivation chosen for our vineyards is vertical trellising and simple Guyot pruning, with a planting height of 2.5x1m. This results in an intensity of 4,000 seedlings per hectare. We have chosen not to bring cement into the vineyards, so the overhead posts are made from chestnut and have been autoclaved to ensure a duration of over 20 years. The intermediate posts are made of iron with steel binary shelves.
