Cascina Chicco

With over 50 hectares of vineyards under its care, Cascina Chicco cultivates some of the most prestigious crus across Roero and the Langhe, including Canale, Vezza d’Alba, Castellinaldo d’Alba, Barbaresco, and Monforte d’Alba. For four generations, the Faccenda family has skillfully bridged tradition and innovation, converting an old farmhouse in Canale into a forward-thinking winery deeply attuned to its surroundings.

Vinification is carefully adapted to each grape variety and the style envisioned for every wine. For whites, the winery uses cryomaceration—a cold process that enhances aroma, preserves freshness, and protects against oxidation. This technique results in wines with greater complexity, structure, and aging potential. Reds are crafted through extended maceration for a refined, elegant extraction, then matured in large oak casks and French barriques to express varietal and terroir character.

A key feature of the estate is its impressive underground cellar: a 5,000-square-meter space carved 28 meters below ground, where terracotta and gypsum crystals provide optimal aging conditions—even for Metodo Classico sparkling wines made from Nebbiolo or Alta Langa grapes. Each Cascina Chicco label is a testament to precision in the vineyard and cellar, revealing a winemaking approach shaped by time, care, and a deep understanding of the land.
