PIEMONTE

The Blangé is a cult white wine from Piedmont, a rich and exuberant expression of the native grape variety Arneis that became an icon in the 1980s and 1990s. Its success continues today and it is found in restaurants around the world as one of the most famous whites from Italy, both a best seller and a long seller at the same time. It was born in 1985 from the intuition of the Ceretto family as a great gamble by brothers Bruno and Marcello who, during the glory days of the great red wines of Piedmont, rediscovered a nearly forgotten grape variety: Arneis. An innovative and unthinkable choice at the time that turned out to be a brilliant and winning intuition.

The name of Arneis Ceretto comes from the dialectal pronunciation of one of the first plots from which the Caretto Brothers began producing this label. It is known as the 'vineyard of the baker', 'boulanger' in French, so named because it was once owned by a French baker who arrived in the Roero in the 1700s following the armistice of Cherasco. The French-influenced name contributed to its great success, along with the innovative and eye-catching graphic design: a transparent bottle with a white label in golden letters designed by Silvio Coppola, an internationally renowned Milanese architect.

The characteristics that have made Ceretto Blangé so famous are due to the bold and artistic spirit of winemaker Donato Lanati who, to enhance its charge and aromatic intensity, inaugurated in the 1980s the technique of cryomaceration, that is, the contact of the skins with the must for about 12 hours at a temperature of 5°C. This technique favours the maximum extraction of the primary aromas of the grape while safeguarding the aromatic cleanliness and delicacy of the fruit. The aromas are indeed intense and varied: pear, apple, peach, citrus, and plenty of tropical fruit. The taste confirms the intensely fruity soul, combined with a balanced freshness and good persistence. A white that has written the history of the whites of the Langhe and continues to be very pleasant and appealing today, appreciated by enthusiasts all over the world, loved by young people and women.
