Nebbiolo Langhe

Cascina Chicco was born in 1950 when Ernesto Faccenda bought a hectare of vineyard in Canale, in the heart of the Roero for the production of wine for his Salsamenteria shop, producing Nebbiolo and Barbera both in demijohns and in bulk as a custom of the time. With the arrival of his son Federico, the winery begins the journey that takes it to the present day. Federico begins the production of wine for bottling and above all dictates the new path that will lead the winery to have a production philosophy that was avant-garde at the time: respect for traditions and the territory, safeguarding the environment that hosts them. Then comes the qualitative leap in production when Marco and Enrico, Federico's sons, work alongside their father in the production, experimenting in courageous and unusual projects at the time. They were among the first to make Nebbiolo sparkling wine. During these years the winery was modernized with new technologies and numerous vineyards were purchased in the most suitable areas of the Roero. The winery is almost completely built under the hill and is an example for environmental sustainability, such as the woodlands and hazelnut groves located near the vineyards. In the vineyard no chemical herbicides are used but organic farming techniques are used, green manure, integrated pest control and the sowing of essences between the rows.

Nebbiolo Langhe DOC Cascina Chicco is produced from the homonymous grapes grown in the Costa area in the municipality of Castagnito, suitable for the production of Nebbiolo of great finesse and elegance. The vines are on a clayey-calcareous soil with a presence of sand veins. The harvest is carried out with a double passage and maceration takes place in steel fermenters at a controlled temperature. At the end of fermentation and after the appropriate decanting, the wine rests in traditional containers for another six months.

Nebbiolo Langhe DOC Cascina Chicco has a ruby red garnet color with an elegant and fine nose with notes of violet, morello cherry and a slight spiciness. On the palate it is full and aristocratic.
