La Morella - Enio Ferretti
In a climatic position among the most fortunate, right in the middle of the Tortona hills, at 343 meters above sea level, is Carezzano Superiore, a small village of few inhabitants, appreciated for its tranquility and its climate. The "La Morella" Agricultural Company is here that since 1985 has been cultivating its products, including grapes, using exclusively organic methods.
The host, Enio Ferretti, will be very pleased to receive you in his company to show you his cultivation methods and in a cozy tasting room he will be happy to let you taste his wines.
The "La Morella" farm is in Carezzano, a small village on the hills of Tortona, in the province of Alessandria. This piece of land that divides Piedmont from Liguria and Lombardy has always been one of the most contested territories in the history of Italy, the scene of epochal clashes and battles between Austrians, Napoleonic Empire and Savoy.
Places far from the contamination of cities and industrial agricultural systems.
Half an hour from the western coast, "La Morella" cultivates some products and grapes with exclusively biological methods, including an ancient native variety: the Timorasso, exclusive of these hills.
The cultivation methods are subjected to strict supervision by the "CODEX" Control Body, which ensures the most complete compliance with the rules on organic farming.
