Set in a charming environment, Tenuta Carretta is one of the most historic and recanted Italian wine estate, where…past, present and future are combined in a rich and fascinating way.

The Tenuta Carretta vineyards take part of the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato wine region, an extraordinary territory named UNESO World Heritage Site in 2014 and today covers about 80 hectares.

It dates back to the 12^the century and was owned also by the Counts of Roero until 1985 when it was purchased by Eduardo Miroglio, who also owns an estate in Thrace - Bulgaria.

The Podio vineyard is first mentioned in 1467 when Count Damiano entrusted the cultivation of the estate to his administrators and decreased that "salvo et riservato vites Podii Serrae" intending that half of the harvest was the property of the castle but all the grapes of Podio were reserved only for the Count.
