Enrico Serafino is one of Piedmont’s oldest wineries, established in 1878 in Canale, Italy, and thriving in its original location for over 140 years. Our acclaimed still and sparkling wines hold a prominent position in Italy and globally. In 2022, Enrico Serafino wines received high scores from various prestigious critics and publications. Notably, Kerin O’Keefe rated Enrico Serafino’s Barolo 1964 at 99/100 and Briccolina Barolo Riserva 2016 at 97/100.

Since its inception, this family-owned winery has remained committed to crafting artisanal wines with meticulous attention to quality, sourced from vineyards in the UNESCO World Heritage wine region of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato. Embracing a sustainable approach and honoring the “Piedmont attitude,” Enrico Serafino’s founder has fulfilled his dream of becoming a renowned viticulturist while maintaining the winery’s artisanal essence and passion for excellence across generations.

“I grew up with an Italian American mother and was influenced by the culture of food and wine at a young age. When I was little, most of my friends wanted to grow up to be firemen. I wanted to grow up to be a winegrower. Buying a winery in Italy was a family dream for a long time, and Enrico Serafino helped me fulfill that dream.”

Enrico Serafino has significantly reduced usage of chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides by optimizing mechanical methods. Innovative technology, including a network of weather stations, provides detailed climate data for our vineyards, further minimizing the necessity for chemical applications. Moreover, we implemented a grassing system to prevent soil erosion, safeguarding the integrity of our Langhe land. We proudly nurture vineyards to support biodiversity, providing habitats to various insects and flowers that encourage the growth of our vines. Additionally, half of our electricity consumption came from renewable sources, contributing to broader sustainability endeavors.

Enrico Serafino remains committed to environmentally friendly packaging practices, utilizing bottles made from 65% recycled glass, cardboard boxes composed of 70% recycled paper, and labels crafted from 100% paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Our bottle closures are cork and entirely recyclable.

In 2019, Enrico Serafino endorsed the VIVA Guidelines, a certification by the Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land, and Sea. These guidelines assess and transparently communicate sustainability performance across a wide range of indicators, from carbon footprint to social responsibility.

Throughout the entire process of vine growing, winemaking, and distribution, Enrico Serafino maintains an unwavering commitment to nurturing a harmonious relationship with the environment, be it in the vineyards, historical cellars, or while sharing the Piedmont attitude throughout the world.
