Ca’Richeta di Orlando Enrico: A Legacy in Piemonte

Founded in the 1800s, Ca’Richeta di Orlando Enrico has a rich history rooted in the Orlando-Morando family’s dedication to crafting exceptional wines. The family persevered through the challenges of two World Wars, with Giuseppe Morando later taking the helm of the winery. Each generation has passed down their winemaking knowledge, culminating in Enrico Orlando’s decision to rename the winery in honor of his great-great-grandmother. Today, Ca’Richeta remains committed to producing terroir-driven wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the Langhe region.

Sustainable Practices in Winemaking

Located in the same picturesque setting where the family has lived for generations, Ca’Richeta spans approximately 4 hectares of prime vineyard land. The region's natural conditions are ideal for cultivating healthy grapes. The winery employs traditional, manual methods for all vineyard activities, including pruning, thinning, and harvesting, while avoiding chemical fertilizers and herbicides. This commitment to sustainable practices not only protects the environment but also enhances the quality of their wines. Collaborating with iXem labs, the winery continues to innovate in eco-friendly viticulture.

Exceptional Natural Wines from Langhe

Ca’Richeta specializes in a variety of grape types, including Nebbiolo, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Malvasia, and Moscato, which are used to produce a range of red, white, rosé, and dessert wines. The winery minimizes the use of sulphites and favors indigenous yeasts during fermentation. Plans are underway to renovate the winery while preserving the traditional Piedmont architecture. The underground aging cellar features a temperature control system, ensuring optimal conditions for wine maturation. A visit to Ca’Richeta promises a memorable experience for wine enthusiasts and travelers alike.
