Rovellotti

Antenello Rovellotti has proudly declares that “of the less than 200 people in the world who carry my family name, 66 live in and around Ghemme.” The truly Ghemmese Rovellotti family has inhabited this small fortified town since at least the late 15th century, keeping alive its long tradition of producing some of the Alto Piemonte’s most enchanting and profound wines. The family vinifies and ages its products in a mosaic of tiny underground cellars stacked high with decades-old botti, spread around Ghemme’s Ricetto, a 10th-century central walled compound that protected the townsfolk during times of strife and war.
