Emilia-Romagna (Colli Piacentini, Provincia di Piacenza) · Italia
The story of Luretta began with the Salamini family's investment in the hills of Val Luretta: land restored and vineyards planted from the late 1980s, leading to the transformation of the business into an established wine estate and the subsequent opening of the winery and tasting rooms at Castello di Momeliano. Over the years, the owners and technical management have focused on raising quality and on enhancing labels such as Gutturnio and Metodo Classico sparkling wines.
Production philosophy
Luretta works with an approach aimed at expressing the terroir: organic viticulture, selecting the grape variety best suited to each vineyard, carefully timed harvesting and targeted winemaking. It oversees aging in wood when necessary and produces traditional method sparkling wines as well as still wines, prioritizing typicity and quality.
