generations of curto barolo in la morra

Nadia Curto

Nadia represents the vibrant future of Piemontese winemaking, standing as a vital bridge between the storied traditions of the past and a modern, terroir-driven philosophy. Located in the heart of La Morra, Nadia’s heritage is deeply rooted in the prestigious Arborina Cru, where she learned the craft under the guidance of her father, Marco Curto, and her legendary uncle, Elio Altare. This dual mentorship allowed her to master the "Modernist" movement’s precision while retaining the soulful, patient approach of the traditionalists. Today, her winemaking direction is defined by a commitment to sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention, ensuring that the Nebbiolo grape remains a transparent vessel for the soil.

Nadia’s current style has carved out a unique space in the Barolo landscape, moving away from heavy oak influence toward a more refined, "feminine" elegance. By utilizing shorter macerations and a thoughtful mix of French barrique and traditional large Slavonian oak, she produces wines characterized by their signature floral perfumes, silken tannins, and vibrant acidity. Her Arborina Barolo is particularly sought after for its mineral complexity and aromatic grace—qualities that reflect the unique limestone and blue marl soils of the region. For the discerning collector, a bottle from Nadia Curto is more than just wine; it is a precisely crafted expression of Piemonte’s steep ridges and a family’s enduring calling to the vine.
