The name Carretta derives from the word “car”, which means stone, so it came naturally to give the name Carretta to the nearby chalk bank that surfaces a few dozen metres from the entrance to the Estate and runs east for about a kilometre.
Revival of the Estate began in 1985, when the Miroglio family decided to buy it and restore it to its former glory. Inspired by the beauty of the hillsides, the family immediately began producing quality wines according to respected tranditions, but also with an attentive eye on progress and new market requirements.
Tenuta Carretta is considered one of the most prestigious of the Roero and Langhe wineries, and its 70 hectares also make it one of the biggest.
