Since 2005

A consortium built on diversity, standards, and shared craft.

Centuries ago, when life followed the rhythm of the seasons, the hills of Piedmont were already recognised for producing grapes of exceptional quality — long before science could explain why.

Founded in 2005, Nuove Realtà is a consortium of Piedmont wineries with a shared vision: to protect, promote and elevate the heritage of one of the world's most celebrated wine regions.

Each member estate is rooted in a unique terrain — clay, limestone, marl, or sand — offering its own distinct expression of the land. This diversity is the heart of our identity.

Where diversity becomes strength. Where tradition and craftsmanship come together in every bottle.

Trade & Distribution

A curated portfolio of Piedmont.

Through dedicated technical and enological oversight, we select the wines that best represent each estate's character. The result is a curated portfolio that delivers a true sensory journey through the wines of Piedmont — complemented by simplified logistics and unified invoicing.

Wine Ecosystem

Four forces shape every bottle.

In 1675 Olivier de Serres wrote that agriculture begins with understanding the nature of the soil. Three centuries later, our winemakers still work within the same equation — where soil, climate, vine and human hand meet, origin becomes wine.

Soil

Calcareous marls, sands and clays — the geological memory of the Piedmont hills.

Climate

Continental with alpine and maritime influences: cold winters, luminous autumns, morning fog.

Grapevine

Native varieties only — Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Moscato, Timorasso, Cortese, Arneis, Ruchè.

Human Factor

Family growers, generational knowledge, hand-picking, restraint in the cellar — the interpreter of the terroir.

Origins of the grapes

Nine varieties, a thousand years of stories.

The wines of Piedmont are not new. They were on the table of Louis XIV, in the letters of Cavour, in the notes of Latin historians. A short compendium — one paragraph for each grape our estates cultivate today.

  • Barolo

    N.01

    Already in the Middle Ages Barolo became known as a regal wine — said to have graced the table of Louis XIV, later beloved by King Carlo Alberto and by Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, who devoted himself personally to its production and made a Barolo capable of standing beside the best French wines. In 1800 Pope Pius VII kept it for personal use.

  • Barbaresco

    N.02

    The Roman historian Titus Livius cited this wine in his works on ancient Rome. Tradition holds that the Gauls descended into Italy drawn by the excellence of the Barbaritium wine, later Barbariscum, finally Barbaresco. Dry Barbaresco as we know it was only fully realised in the second half of the 19th century.

  • Nebbiolo

    N.03

    The name recalls the cold morning mist — nebbia — typical of harvest season. A monk once woke to find fog shrouding his vineyard and thought it a divine warning. When the fog lifted, dewy grapes glittered in the sun. A document from the Castle of Rivoli mentions Nebbiolo as early as 1268; in the 15th century the Bishop of Turin demanded that church rents be paid in barrels of it.

  • Barbera

    N.04

    First formally recorded in a 17th-century document of Nizza Monferrato, and again in 1798 in Count Nuvolone's Piedmontese ampelography. Officers of the Savoy army chose the Barbera as their 'brave companion'. The poet Carducci called it 'noble and generous — a wine capable of making one strong and powerful.'

  • Dolcetto

    N.05

    First mentioned officially in Dogliani in 1593, in a deliberation titled 'Orders for the vindimie' — proof that by the end of the 16th century the grape was already cultivated. Historians trace it back further still, to some Langhe villages around the year 1000.

  • Moscato d'Asti

    N.06

    The Statutes of Canelli mention Moscato vines in the Asti area as early as the 13th century. Giovanni Battista Croce — a Milanese jeweller at the court of Duke Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy — is remembered as its father: he refined the sweet, aromatic, low-alcohol style and in 1606 published a small volume on the excellences of Piedmontese wines.

  • Arneis

    N.07

    First recorded in 1471 — 'arneis sul bricco di una collina'. By the 1700s its production was widespread; spice merchants used it as the base for vermouth. Until only decades ago it was drunk in a sweet variant to cheer women and to make merry during the last days of carnival.

  • Grignolino

    N.08

    The name derives from grignole — the local word for the abundant grape seeds this vine bears — or perhaps from grignare, dialect for laughter. First mentioned at the end of the 17th century, but likely used earlier for the 'chiaretto' wines of the 1500s. King Umberto I preferred it above all others.

  • Ruchè

    N.09

    Born on the hills north-west of Asti — the ancient Castagnolis Casalensis, today Castagnole Monferrato. Its name comes from roncet, a local viral degeneration to which the vine proved highly resistant. It grows only within a narrow band of dry calcareous soil with high solar radiation; beyond those borders, no Ruchè is made.
