"WineEstates" news and stories

Brad Pitt buying an Italian vineyard

Brad Pitt is planning on buying a vineyard in Italy; just outside Turin, which is a short distance from his pal George Clooney's Lake Como hut.

The Daily Telegraph claims the 42 year-old actor paid a secretive visit to three wine estates, all in the Barolo region, 35 miles south of Turin. The actor stayed at the Fontanafredda estate in Serralunga, once a royal domain and 35 miles south of Turin. He visited other producers in the area including Cascina Cucco and Poderi Aldo Conterno. All three estates produce quality Barolo and Dolcetto d'Alba.

"He seemed to be interested in buying," Monica Tavella from Fontanafredda told the Telegraph.

Pitt is not the first celebrity to eye an Italian vineyard. Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall owns an estate in Sicily and Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich recently visited Tuscany, also with an eye to acquiring an estate.
