About Winery and Wines
Our philosophy is to reduce as much as possible any intervention on the vineyards, letting the vine keep its natural balance”. Mauro and Savio express with these words their work in the vineyards. The use of natural products and non-invasive methods enable the right interpretation of the vine, obtain good grapes and, subsequently, an excellent wine. Nature takes its course from the pruning to the ripening: Mauro and Savio control and intervene without interrupting the natural process, but give their support letting it express itself at its best. The vineyards of the winery Le Strette extend over 3.5 hectares in the communes of Novello and Barolo, in selected areas.
round two hectares of the Nebbiolo vines for Barolo are mostly located in Novello (1.5 ha), on the hills that host the hamlets of Bergera and Pezzole (the Barolo Crü Bergera Pezzole was named after them), and in the area of Pallaretta. The soil is rich in clay and limestone, at over 400 m. a.s.l., with an ideal sun exposure. In Bergera-Pezzole they produce a Barolo with remarkable tannins, spicy notes and complex bouquets. The region of Pallaretta, where clay is predominant, gives a fresher Barolo with more intensive colours, very fascinating. The vineyard Bergeisa is located in the commune of Barolo, its extension over a half hectare is the perfect size for a second crü: Barolo Bergeisa, which mirrors the characteristics of the Barolo region that gives the most elegant wines. The soil is rich in limestone and rather loose, 280 m. a.s.l., with steep slopes and exceptional exposure are its main characteristics. Le Strette also produces Barbera and Dolcetto, cultivated in Novello in the regions of Bergera and Pezzole. The land gives wines with great balance, full-bodied, fruity and very special spicy notes. Finally there is the Nas-cëtta, an autochthonous vine from Novello, Savio and Mauro are experts of this wine and contributed to its preservation and promotion.
