Cantina Cerrano

Cantina Cerrano is a small, family-run winery on Via Battia in the Murisengo hills, where Piero and his wife tend the vineyards that sit right in front of the cellar. They make a range of mostly red wines — Grignolino and a Bonarda among them — at honest, everyday prices, the kind of bottles regulars come back for by the case.

Tastings are informal and personal, with Piero happy to explain how the family got started and which wine might suit you; it's worth phoning ahead before dropping by. The warm, unhurried welcome is what visitors tend to remember.
