Cantina e Vini

Cascina Chicco has been making wines in the Roero for three generations since founder Ernesto Faccenda planted vineyards of Nebbiolo and Barbera in the 1950s. In the 1980s, Enrico’s son Federico modernized the winery, and today, he and his sons Enrico and Marco work together to produce wines of great quality. They expanded production by selecting land that best expresses the unique characteristics of native grape varieties, and now their vineyards extend from Roero to Barolo territory. Their wines range from white Roero Arneis and Favorita to red Barbera, Nebbiolo-based Roero DOCG, and Barolo. They always strive to produce high quality, traditional wines and to strengthen the family traditions that have made Cascina Chicco a leader in the Roero subzone. The winery has recently been renovated, featuring an extensive wine cellar excavated under the original farmhouse and vineyards. It is a labyrinth of barrel and aging rooms, corridors for storage and wine racks, and niches excavated into bare rock for conserving historical vintages. At its center lies the heart and soul of the wine cellar: The Wheel Room. Designed with a dozen arches and topped with a cupola which represents the wheel of the Roero, the symbol of the medieval lords who ruled these lands.
