The full bodied red wines from Ciabot Berton are crafted with grapes grown with respect to the ecosystem of the vine and the expression of the land of langhe.

All of the vineyards are located in the prestigious historic cru of La Morra on the slopes facing towards Alba: Roggeri, San Biagio, Rive, Cappallotti, Pria and Rocchettevino. On a land register for La Morra there are references to the Germanic surname of Obertus. The Oberto family can claim to have early origins reaching as far back as 1200. In more recent times other testimonies underline the close bond with the territory of La Morra, with specific references even to the cultivation of vines from 1800 onwards. By the end of the 1950s, Luigi Oberto, along with his father Giovenale, was cultivating the 2 hectares of Nebbiolo on the hill of Bricco San Biagio, and selling the grapes at the Alba market.

From the 1990s, Luigi’s children Marco, an oenologist, and Paola, an agronomist, began working with him. Increasingly aware of the quality and full potential of the vineyards and their Nebbiolo grapes, they decided to vinify the grapes of the different vineyards separately, selecting the best batches of Barolo for bottling. In this way, by making a few important adjustments in production to add to Luigi’s great experience, the wines of Ciabot Berton have become steadily more widely known and appreciated.
