The Tenuta Carretta estate, historically a viticutural and wine-making farm in the Southern Piedmond region, Piobesi d`Alba village, Roero area, is simply a theatrical performance of nature, which extends from Podio vineyard through Bric Paradiso vineyard. Archive notes confirm the existence of this cultivated landed estate since early 1584, already then belonging to hight rank families. Since than has been cultivating vineyards and raising cattle. De Brayda family, lords of Piobesi village, who boasted a land estate of about 30 ha for two centuries, were succeed Damiano family, lords of Priocca village, that continued to buy bordernig plots of ground and to enlarge the property. In the early 1800`s the whole land estate passed to Roeros`earl, whose heraldic bearings still today stand out at the main entrance of the estate. |
