For four generations, Cascina Chicco has made the decision to cultivate and vinify the best vines of Roero and the Langhe. A choice of the most privileged areas, which over the years, has let us identify the best vines to express the unique interpretation of each terroir.
Today, Cascina Chicco oversees over 50 hectares of the most historic vineyards of Canale, Vezza d’Alba, Castellinaldo, Castagnito, and recently, Monforte d’Alba, where wine is made from two historic and prestigious crus: Ginestra and Castelletto.
Castagnito, Piedmont, Italy. In the countryside of Castagnito is a particular hill named Costa, mentioned in the history of the Nebbiolo vine in ancient documents; it is particularly suited for the production of a fne and elegant wine. The average age of the vineyards is 20 years. The yield per hectare is very low, allowing us to obtain a Langhe Nebbiolo of high quality.
The soil is clayey with sand.
The harvesting is done in two periods spaced with one week in between. For 4 - 5 days the maceration develops in stainless steel casks, after which the wine rests in traditional casks for six months before being bottled.
