The Cieck winery, located between Turin and Ivrea, in the heart of Piedmont, specializes in the cultivation of native vines such as Erbaluce, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Neretto and Freisa. Their peculiarity is the pergola vineyards, a training system that creates large pergolas in the vineyard, where the grapes are harvested by collecting the bunches at the top. The winery was born in 1985 as a small sparkling wine house, founded by Remo Falconieri, son of farmers and designer of typewriters at Olivetti. Today the winery is managed by three family members: Domenico Caretto, agronomist and head of the vineyards and the cellar, Lia Falconieri, head of administration, commercial and communication and the founder Remo Falconieri, nicknamed "the Archimedes of bubbles ". Each vineyard has a name, a soul and a story, such as the Misobolo, the oldest vineyard where there is still an ungrafted vine that is almost a century old. The new cellar, born in 2013 in the heart of the Erbaluce rows, is a modern, technological and green project at the same time, which reflects the passion and dedication of the Falconieri for the production of high quality wines. Try their wines: from the Erbaluce Classic Method to Nebbiolo and Freisa, and discover the soul of Piedmont in every sip.
