Anterisio Roero Arneis

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.

Anterisio Arneis Cascina Chicco derives from grapes grown in the sub-area of Artenisio, one of the most suitable for the production of Arneis, with an exposure to the East. happens softly. In the production of Anterisio the cryomaceration technique is used to allow enrichment of the must so as to have a more structured and complex wine and good longevity.

Anterisio Arneis Cascina Chicco has a pale straw yellow with greenish reflections with fruity notes of apricots, apple and chamomile. Sapid on the palate, with good structure and complexity.
