About Cantina 12064

• Background: Cantina 12064, named after Cortemilia’s postal code, was founded in 2019 by brothers Mauro and Claudio Mo in the Alta Langa region of Piedmont, Italy. Focusing on organic and low-intervention winemaking, they cultivate local grape varieties to produce natural wines that reflect the region’s terroir. The winery emphasizes sustainable practices, aligning with the growing demand for organic and biodynamic wines, and participates in the natural wine movement, with a presence at events like RAW WINE (,).

• Wines: Specializes in organic, natural wines from native Piedmontese grapes like Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nascetta. Key wines include:

• Production: Farms small vineyard plots (exact hectares unspecified, likely 2-5 based on similar micro-wineries,) in Cortemilia’s hilly, calcareous soils. Uses organic farming, hand-harvesting, and low-intervention techniques (native yeasts, no filtration, minimal or no sulfur). Production is small, with limited bottles exported to niche markets, primarily in Europe and the US. Wines are vegan-friendly.

• Style: Fresh, expressive, and terroir-driven, with Alta Langa’s minerality and fruit-forward profiles. Dolcetto and Barbera offer approachability, while Nascetta highlights Piedmont’s white wine potential, appealing to natural wine enthusiasts.
