Azienda Agricola Caudrina di Romano Dogliotti

Piedmont, Italy

Philosophy

Fermented in pressurized autoclave at controlled low temperature with selected yeasts, the must halted mid-fermentation to preserve residual sugar and delicate aromatics. Hand-harvested grapes, estate-grown, refrigerated immediately upon pressing, expressing mineral purity through precision chemistry rather than maceration or wood.

Reputation

Founded in the 1940s by Redento Dogliotti in Castiglione Tinella, between Langhe and Monferrato, Azienda Agricola Caudrina entered its defining period in the late 1970s when Romano, Redento's son, rejected the family tradition of selling must to industrial producers and instead began bottling the estate's own Moscato Bianco—a radical choice that pioneered the category of grower-bottled Moscato d'Asti.

AllocationSource research identified two distinct Dogliotti enterprises: (1) Azienda Agricola Caudrina di Romano Dogliotti, the historic grower estate in Castiglione Tinella founded 1940 by Redento, run by Romano from late 1970s onward—producer of Moscato d'Asti and Asti Spumante; (2) Dogliotti 1870, a separate family producer in Castagnole delle Lanze founded 1870 by Giuseppe and Marcello, now operated by third-generation cousins. This entry covers only Caudrina, the Romano Dogliotti legacy.
