Barolo · Langhe
Time,
bottled.
Five generations, seven hills, one way of waiting: the way of oak and silence.
The estate · since 1898
Settecolli began when Giovanni Bertola bought a south-facing vineyard above La Morra and decided to plant nothing but Nebbiolo. A hundred and twenty-eight vintages later, we still work this way: few bottles, large casks, no hurry.
Today · the fifth generation
Today the estate is run by Chiara and Matteo.
Eighteen hectares spread over seven hills, each one vinified separately because each one makes a different wine. We harvest by hand, we have farmed organically since 2004, and in the cellar we intervene as little as possible: the rest is done by the oak, the cool of the hill and time.
- 18hectares of vines
- 7hills, vinified separately
- 42,000bottles a year
Five generations
- 1898
The first vines
Giovanni Bertola plants Nebbiolo on the Bricco Rosa. No other grape, ever since.
- 1931
The vaulted cellar
Dug by hand, eleven meters into the hillside. It still stays at 14 °C without any air conditioning.
- 1967
The first Riserva
Three years in cask, four in bottle. Released only in the vintages that deserve it.
- 2004
Organic
All seven hills go organic: no herbicides, only grass and handwork.
- Now
Chiara and Matteo
The fifth generation: 42,000 bottles a year and the same patience as in 1898.
Our wines
Four labels, one hill at a time.
Each bottle comes from a single hill, or from all seven together. Just a few thousand bottles, numbered by hand.
