Crotin, Piedmont wines
Crotin is a wine producer in Piedmont, Italy. LeMieux Wine Co. distributes Crotin wines to licensed restaurants, bars and retailers in Michigan.
Estate
Three brothers (Federico, Marcello and Corrado Russo, originally from Calabria) run Crotin in the western communes of Asti. The name means "small cellar" in Piemontese dialect. Vineyards in Maretto and Monale sit on clay, limestone, and sand. Fully committed to organic farming.
Wines
Native Monferrato varieties, bottled with minimal intervention. The Grignolino and Ruché are the standouts, grape varieties that barely exist outside this corner of Piedmont.
