Azienda Agricola Cieck was established in 1985 by Remo Falconieri in Aglie, a commune of Torino. Remo, a typewriter designer, had a dream of becoming a small producer of sparkling wine. He traveled to France to learn how to make sparkling wine, and in 1985 established the estate. With only a few hectares of vine, he vinified his first harvest—just over 2,500 bottles—of Erbaluce Metodo Classico, released for sale in 1987. Today, Azienda Agricola Cieck cultivates 13 hectares of vineyard on the hills of Aglie, San Giorgio and Cuceglio. Now in his eighties, Remo labors daily in the cellar alongside his daughter, Lia, and winemaker Domenico Caretto, producing some of Alto Piemonte's most sophisticated and striking examples of Erbaluce and other native varietals.
