Le Cecche - A Charming Family-Run Winery in the Heart of Langhe

Located in the picturesque hamlet of Diano d’Alba, Le Cecche is a family-owned winery nestled in one of the “11 comuni del Barolo” in the renowned Piedmont region. With roots tracing back to the 18th century, this small hamlet originally comprised three farms. Today, Le Cecche continues the tradition of winemaking, producing exceptional wines from grapes grown in their stunning vineyards.

Vineyard History

After a careful restoration of the winery buildings, the estate has seen the planting of new vineyards featuring Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Merlot on the steep, sun-kissed slopes. The historic Dolcetto vineyard, established in the 1950s, has also been revitalized. In 2008, a white wine vineyard was planted in Bossolasco at an impressive altitude of 750 meters, making it one of the highest vineyards in the Langhe region. The winery expanded further in 2010 with the acquisition of a vineyard in the Barolo area, MGA Sorano in Serralunga d’Alba, known for its age-worthy wines. Additional vineyards were added in Grinzane Cavour (MGA Borzone) in 2014 and Monforte (MGA Bricco San Pietro) in 2015.

Grape Varieties

With guidance from some of the world’s leading winemakers and a skilled engineering team, Le Cecche crafts wines that have garnered recognition in various wine guides and publications for their outstanding quality.

The estate's vineyards yield a variety of grapes, including Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Timorasso, and Manzoni Bianco. These grapes are used to create a diverse selection of wines, such as Barolo, Barbera d’Alba, Nebbiolo d’Alba, Dolcetto di Diano d’Alba, Langhe Rosso, Langhe Bianco, and Langhe Rosato.

We enjoyed it! What a friendly welcome, beautiful wines and what a fantastic view. A lot of time was taken for us and we were able to taste and learn a lot from Mr. de Bruyne. Thank you very much! We certainly hope to return again.

Wines with excellent value for money for the region, from €8 (dulcetto) to €30 (barolo). The owner speaks French and is extremely welcoming. Fascinating discussions about wine. Charming and well-decorated property. Worth a visit!
