Where are Crotin 1897 wines made?
Crotin 1897 wines are produced in Piedmont, a region in northwestern Italy renowned for its winemaking heritage and diverse terroirs. The vineyards are situated among rolling hills where a mix of clay, limestone, and sandy soils contribute to the wines’ structure and minerality. The climate is influenced by both the Alps and the Mediterranean, offering warm days and cool nights that allow grapes to ripen slowly, developing balanced acidity and complex aromas. The location provides ideal conditions for cultivating a range of native grape varieties, from aromatic whites to structured reds. The family carefully tends each vineyard parcel, hand-harvesting grapes at optimal maturity to ensure quality. This strong connection to place and respect for the environment results in wines that clearly reflect the unique character of Piedmont’s landscape.

What are the best Crotin 1897 wines?
Some of the finest wines from Crotin 1897 include their elegant Arneis, which showcases floral and citrus notes alongside a crisp, mineral-driven palate. This white wine is admired for its purity, freshness, and versatility with food. Their Barbera is another standout, offering juicy red fruit, balanced acidity, and a smooth texture that makes it appealing both in youth and with some bottle age. Nebbiolo from Crotin 1897 reflects the variety’s hallmark characteristics of red berries, roses, and fine tannins, with the potential to evolve beautifully over time. Limited-production labels, often made from carefully selected vineyard plots, highlight the estate’s commitment to quality and terroir expression.
