Enrico Serafino

Enrico Serafino is a historic Italian wine producer based in Canale d'Alba, an important center of the Roero region. It was founded by businessman and landowner Enrico Serafino in 1878, and was one of the first in Piedmont to sell its regional wines throughout Italy and abroad. Today, Serafino specializes in the traditional wines of Piedmont, including Roero, Barolo, Barbaresco, Alba, Asti, Gavi and Alta Langa.

In 2005, Enrico Serafino began Cantina Maestra to highlight and focus on the Roero and Alta Langa. The wines produced under this label are made with specially selected fruit from the estate's 12-hectare (30-acre) vineyard in Roero. The vineyard is planted to 4ha (10 acres) of Arneis, 6ha (15 acres) of Nebbiolo and about 2ha (5 acres) of Barbera on hillsides in Canale d'Alba.

Beyond Roero, Enrico Serafino produces a host of DOC and DOCG-designate wines from many of Piedmont's top winemaking regions, and is well known for its production of sparkling wines. The estate produces slightly sparkling Moscato d'Asti DOCG dessert wines; Brachetto d'Acqui, produced by the Charmat method; and a range of Alta Langa metodo classico wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
