Cantina Oriolo

Cantina Oriolo

Cantina Oriolo is a family farm in Montelupo Albese, run by the brothers Teresio and Diego with relatives helping, registered as a società semplice agricola under the Brangero name. The cellar sits among its own vines a few kilometres from Alba, with a view over the hills toward Barolo, Barbaresco, the Asti area and Monferrato. The range is built on the Alba red varieties, Barbera, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, plus a Cabernet Franc, and on whites including Arneis, Chardonnay, Favorita and Moscato, with a rosato and an Alta Langa metodo classico. Most wines are made and aged in stainless steel, with oak reserved for the Nebbiolo, the Superiore and the Cabernet Franc. The estate has taken part in the Green Experience environmental project since 2016. Montelupo Albese is a small village in the Langhe hills, in the province of Cuneo.
