Nebbiolo Mompissano

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.

Mompissano di Cascina Chicco is a Nebbiolo produced in the first vineyard of Cascina Chicco, formerly owned by the Counts of Loreto. The hill is the highest in Canale with a south-west exposure with a high slope that forces you to do any maintenance of the vineyard manually. The yield is kept low and the harvest strictly by hand. Fermentation takes place in steel macerators
which guarantee the right skin-must contact and an adequate extraction of color. Subsequently, the wine is placed in tonneaux where the malolactic fermentation takes place and where it rests for 12 - 15 months before being assembled again in steel tanks before bottling.

Nebbiolo Mompissano Cascina Chicco has a beautiful garnet red with good complexity and evident hints of small red fruits such as currants, blueberries and then spices, licorice. Warm and silky on the palate with soft and elegant tannins with sensations of ripe fruit and again spices.
