Rovellotti

Of the fewer than 200 people in the world who carry the Rovellotti name, 66 live in and around Ghemme. That concentration of family and place tells you everything about this estate: it is not a brand or an investment, but a living continuation of one of Piedmont's oldest winemaking lineages, operating today from a 10th-century fortified compound that Antonello Rovellotti is the only winemaker still permitted to use.

The Rovellotti family settled in Ghemme no later than the late 15th century, and they have made wine there ever since. The estate is rooted in the Ricetto di Ghemme, a walled medieval compound built in the 10th century to protect the village and its wine. Antonello and his brother Paolo formally established the modern winery together, and Antonello has led its development since, working from a labyrinth of tiny underground cellars beneath the Ricetto's ancient stones. Since the 1980s he has collaborated with the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Milan to eliminate all chemical use in his vineyards, a project that began decades before organic certification became commercially meaningful.
