Cantina Ghëddo

The young and promising Ghëddo winery in La Morra took off in 2014 from the initiative and ambition of two young men from Milan, Giovanni and Mattia, who are respectively the agricultural/wine-making arm and the commercial/administrative soul of the winery.

The fact that they do not have ancient blazons supported by an articulated history has not intimidated them; in fact, they base their heralds on knowledge of the territory, regard for the vineyard ecosystem and the production of excellent wine by combining commitment with fun.

At first devoted to the study of the classics and anthropology, they finally uncovered “ghëddo” among the rigorous geometries of rows of vines in the Langhe and in wine production.

But what does ghëddo mean? The word comes from the Piedmontese dialect and can be translated as the impetus, the personal style, the witty tone, the stamp of authenticity that a person, or a group of people can give to a certain action, be it artistic, professional, social, everyday.

A kind of Bergsonian élan vital that expresses itself in the will to do, in the spontaneity of an intuition, and that Giovanni and Mattia confirm can be read immediately in someone’s face the moment you meet them.

The winery opens its doors to visitors and enthusiasts who wish to taste the fruit of this authentic and elegant enthusiasm.

The winery gives the opportunity to savor the results of the meeting of these two young minds and also to chat a bit to learn more about their path and philosophy.

The vineyard tasting point is located at Via Alba 23 in La Morra and is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and during the week by appointment.

As you enter the graveled row, you can observe the vegetative stage of the plant, the method of training and pruning.

This is followed by a tasting of the five wines produced inside the Ciabot or even outside under an elegiac arbor.
