La Cantina

Morra, Monvigliero, Mosca.

The three letters “M” enclosed in the company logo tell and place the winery that has been based in Cascina Mosca since the early 1900s.

The Diego Morra Winery is located along the panoramic road that connects Alba and Verduno, a small town known as the sentinel of the Langhe, for its position as a historical garrison of the surrounding area.

On these hills, dedicated to the cultivation of the Nebbiolo grape, the company produces, among the other characteristic wines of the area, two types of Barolo DOCG.

The maximum expression of this wine is reached in the Monvigliero version, named after one of the best crus in the sub-areas of Barolo and especially Verduno.

The area is also the area of choice for Pelaverga, a native Piedmontese black grape variety, at the origin of one of the smallest DOCs in Italy.
