Ezio Cerruti is one of the most respected low-intervention producers working in Piemonte, based in the village of Castiglione Tinella between Asti and the Langhe. Farming steep hillside vineyards planted largely to Moscato Bianco, Cerruti has become known for rethinking Moscato far beyond the sweet sparkling styles traditionally associated with the region.

Working organically from the outset, often surrounded by conventionally farmed vineyards, Ezio focuses on small-scale production, old vines and wines shaped by patience, precision and minimal intervention. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeast, sulphur use is kept minimal and winemaking is guided by texture, balance and vineyard expression rather than heavily manipulated styles.

The wines range from lightly sparkling col fondo bottlings such as Ri Fol to skin-contact Moscato, passito wines and more experimental releases. Rather than emphasising overt sweetness or exaggerated aromatics, Cerruti’s wines often lean savoury, saline and textural, balancing Moscato’s floral character with acidity, minerality and remarkable drinkability.

Ezio Cerruti has become especially admired within the natural wine world for showing how expressive, serious and food-friendly Moscato can be when treated with the same care and attention as fine wine. The wines continue to stand out for their individuality, freshness and ability to bridge traditional Piemonte winemaking with modern low-intervention approaches.

The wines are now highly regarded among sommeliers, natural wine drinkers and specialist importers worldwide.
