La Morella

Enio Ferretti did not convert to organic farming , he never farmed any other way. When he founded La Morella in Carezzano in 1985, on the calcareous clay and marl hills of the Colli Tortonesi at 343 meters above sea level, certified organic viticulture was not a marketing category but a personal conviction. Four decades later, the estate stands as one of southeastern Piedmont's most coherent addresses for natural wine, now managed by Enio alongside his daughter Sofia.

La Morella occupies a corner of Piedmont that straddles the borders of Liguria and Lombardy in the province of Alessandria. The estate has been certified organic since its first vintage in 1985 , well before organic viticulture became fashionable in Italian wine. Enio practices a polycultural approach, cultivating not only vines but also wheat and medicinal herbs across the property, treating the farm as a living system rather than a single-crop operation. Ten hectares of vineyards produce approximately 14,000 bottles per year.
