The family farms more than 50 hectares across five villages in the Roero and the Langhe: home ground in Canale and neighbouring Vezza d'Alba, Castellinaldo d'Alba to the north, and Monforte d'Alba and Barbaresco further south, matching each plot to the grape it suits. The range runs from Roero Arneis and Roero DOCG reds to Barbera d'Alba, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Barolo and Barbaresco, plus two dosage-zero classic method sparklers and traditional Roero styles such as Birbet and Arcass. The cellar is dug 28 metres into the hill, with solar panels and constant underground temperatures that cut the energy needed for ageing. Canale sits in the Roero, the sandy hills north of Alba known for Arneis and for increasingly refined Nebbiolo. ## Visits & tastings Cascina Chicco welcomes visitors into its underground cellar for tastings, by appointment. **Tastings** - Personalised tastings in the estate's tasting room **Tours** - Underground cellar visit: 5,000 sqm at a depth of 28 metres, taking in ageing rooms, barrique cellars and hand-carved crutins **Good to know** - By appointment only, Monday to Saturday - Exceptionally open Sunday mornings in April, May, and September to December - Closed on Italian public holidays, including Christmas **Contact** - [+39 0173 979411](tel:+390173979411) - [cascinachicco@cascinachicco.com](mailto:cascinachicco@cascinachicco.com) - Via Valentino 14, 12043 Canale (CN) ## Wines (20) - [Alta Langa](https://ilvinobello.com/wines/cascina-chicco-alta-langa.md): Alta Langa DOCG, Pinot Noir 65%, Chardonnay 35%, Sparkling.
