Located in the picturesque town of Mezzomerico, Enrico Crola Winery is nestled among the rolling hills of Novara in Upper Piedmont. This stunning location offers breathtaking views in every direction, from the Po Valley to the south and the Ticino Valley to the west, to the majestic Alps in the north and the iconic Monte Rosa massif. The region boasts a rich winemaking heritage, making it an ideal setting for producing exceptional wines.
Founded in 2006 by Enrico Crola, the winery began with the cultivation of unique grape varieties. Following a successful first harvest, Enrico expanded the estate by acquiring additional land. A significant milestone occurred in 2014 when he constructed a new winery, allowing for greater production capacity. Today, Enrico Crola Winery is surrounded by lush vineyards and is dedicated to sustainable practices, growing grapes such as Nebbiolo, Vespolina, and Erbaluce.
The underground cellar at Enrico Crola is where the magic happens. Here, the finest grapes undergo soft pressing before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. With state-of-the-art temperature control, the wines are aged in wooden barrels of various sizes, enhancing their unique aromas and flavors. The winery produces a diverse range of wines, including red, white, high-quality rosé, and sparkling wines, each reflecting the character of the region.

Write a reviewTop location, the lounge with windows overlooking the Mezzomerico hills is truly spectacular. We dined on Saturday evening; there were four of us. We opted for the farmer's tasting menu, offering a choice of two first courses and two second courses. The menu consisted of an appetizer, a first course of your choice between gnocchi with Gorgonzola and a Nebbiolo reduction made with it, and classic lasagna with meat sauce. A second course of your choice between roasted capon and pork coppa with seasonal vegetables. To finish, a dessert of your choice between sbrisolona with gianduia, candied orange, and panbrioche with Marsala and mascarpone. For my first course, I had Gorgonzola gnocchi, a delight for the palate; I found them very tender, and I really appreciated the Nebbiolo reduction. My husband, on the other hand, had the delicious classic lasagna with meat sauce. The four of us had the capon as our main course; I found it tender. To finish our dinner, we ate both the sbrisolona and the panbrioches. We enjoyed a bottle of Duemila9, a 100% Nebbiolo, from their production. The price is not excessive; the four of us spent a total of €144. I didn't think the price of the bottles of wine was excessive. Some of the dishes are probably borderline a tasting menu. From the menu, I saw that there's also the option of an aperitif; an interesting suggestion, definitely worth trying another time. And especially in summer, there's also the option of dining directly among the vines for a small additional charge; a nice idea.

Highly recommended company: it is superfluous to describe the quality and experience we have every time we come here for lunch. Attentive, helpful and knowledgeable staff, the dishes are always prepared and I am personally surprised when they manage to enhance even apparently simple products. I really appreciate the possibility of ordering a bottle of wine and, if there is any left over, being able to take it home. And then... shall we talk about how beautiful the place is? Absolutely one of my favorite places in the area.

Winery with farmhouse on the hills of Mezzomerico. A really well-kept place, with the possibility of dining between the rows in summer. We chose it to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. Well-composed menu with carefully prepared dishes and excellent wines. Particular praise goes to the classic rosé method. Recommended both for the celebration of special occasions and for a romantic dinner. Excellent prices in relation to the quality offered.

Very friendly staff. The only mistake was that I was expecting a telephone contact, which didn't happen, but that doesn't matter because I clarified my wishes by email and they were definitely taken into account upon arrival. The food is excellent, there is absolutely nothing to complain about, starting with the bread, the appetizers with cheese and cold cuts, the menu, the first courses, the second courses, the desserts and even the wonderful children's menu. The wines are delicious and definitely worth tasting, among other things the glasses are generously filled. The price may seem high, but if you take a quick look at the quality and quantity of the food and the service, you are very happy to pay because many things are included in the price. I also recommend a visit to the cellar, super interesting, well-trained staff. Among other things, wonderful location, well-kept, clean. I didn't find anything that didn't satisfy me and it is absolutely recommended and worth a try. Please contact them beforehand by phone or email because they rightly only work by reservation. Optimal. Thank you for everything.
