Enrico Trapletti

The Climb

The winegrower role at Azienda Vitivinicola Trapletti SA places Enrico Trapletti in direct contact with the work of vine and cellar. In Ticino, where small distinctions carry real meaning, managing a broad portfolio asks for discipline as much as range. Trapletti’s production across many labels, alongside his early commitment to Nebbiolo, shows a practice shaped by both volume and specificity.

Today

At Tenuta Vitivinicola Trapletti SA in Coldrerio, Enrico Trapletti works as founder and winegrower. The estate is tied to place, and the place matters: Coldrerio is the frame for a house that produces around 16 to 18 labels, each one part of a wider cellar language. The Nebbiolo claim remains central here as well, not as decoration but as evidence of a deliberate choice made early and kept in play.

Signature

Enrico's signature dishes include Culdrée, Godié, Marirosé Rosato Brut, Enrico I Extra Brut, and Culdrée 2007. Presented together, these names read like a small tasting journey through his cellar: each one distinct, each one part of the vocabulary he has built over time. There is the sense of a producer who thinks in sequences and contrasts, in stillness and sparkle, in the particular character that allows one label to differ from another while still belonging unmistakably to the same house.

In Their Words “I am one of the few in Ticino to have Nebbiolo; in fact, I was the first to plant Nebbiolo.” “I produce many wines, about 16 to 18 labels.”
