i. Biography
Gianmario Cerutti is the enologist and agronomist at Cerutti in Cassinasco, a professional life shaped by the careful, exacting work of reading vineyards and translating fruit into wine. His career centers on technical work in wine, including a role as technical director at Coppo Vini Canelli. The through line is technical: vines and wine.
The Path
Gianmario Cerutti trained at Umberto I School of Alba before moving into wine with a crucial role as key buyer/winemaker at Coppo winery in Canelli from 1994. From there, his path has remained firmly rooted in the discipline of the vineyard and cellar, where decisions are measured in timing, texture, and balance. Today, he stands at the heart of the region’s wine world as president of Associazione Produttori Moscato di Canelli, a board member of FIVI (Federazione Italiana Viticoltori Indipendenti), and an associated member of Consorzio dell'Alta Langa. Each role underscores the same conviction that runs through his work: that wine begins long before the bottle, in the patient, technical conversation between soil, vine, and season.
The Work Today
At the estate, his current work joins enology and agronomy, bringing together the science of what grows in the vineyard with the craft of what ultimately reaches the glass. It is a hands-on, place-bound vocation, one that depends on close attention and an intimate understanding of how each choice in the field echoes later in the cellar. In Cerutti’s hands, that union of disciplines suggests a methodical, quietly exact approach to winemaking, where the technical is never abstract and every intervention serves the character of the wine.
Signature
Gianmario's signature wines include Moscato d'Asti Canelli DOCG, Alta Langa DOCG, Alta Langa DOCG Brut, Suri Galle, and Suri Sandrinet. The list reflects the range of his expertise, moving from fragrant, precise expressions to wines shaped by structure and nuance, all grounded in the same disciplined attention to detail. These names sketch the contours of a cellar defined by consistency, regional identity, and a steady hand.
