Winery in Lake Maggiore

About the Winery

Nestled on the picturesque shores of Lake Maggiore in Angera, Lombardy, Cascina Piano has become a renowned producer of high-quality "Ronchi Varesini" IGT wines. Established in 2003, the winery has been a pioneer in promoting the "Ronchi Varesini IGT" certification, dedicated to excellence, innovation, and a deep-rooted connection to the land. Cascina Piano’s mission is to harmonize the unique characteristics of the "Ronchi Varesini" region and Lake Maggiore with the latest advancements in viticulture and winemaking.

The winery places a strong emphasis on the enhancement of indigenous grape varieties, particularly Nebbiolo, and reviving those that have been partially abandoned. In its pursuit of excellence, Cascina Piano collaborates with "Ampelidea," a consultancy that guides the adoption of new cultivation and winemaking techniques, ensuring that each wine produced reflects the true essence of the local terroir.

The artistry of Cascina Piano extends beyond the vineyard to its wine labels, which are inspired by local frescoes and historical references. The names of the wines and the dialectal rhymes featured on the bottles tell stories of the region’s rich cultural and artistic heritage, making each bottle not just a product, but a piece of local history.

About the Wines

Cascina Piano's portfolio of "Ronchi Varesini" IGT wines is led by its distinguished red wines, particularly those made with Nebbiolo grapes.

Primenebbie: This 100% Nebbiolo wine is the flagship of Cascina Piano, celebrated for its softness, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. Primenebbie finds its natural balance in the unique terroir of the "Ronchi Varesini" region, offering a refined wine with a full body, abundant aromas, and a distinctive local character that reflects the landscape overlooking Lake Maggiore.

Angliano: A robust blend of 70% Nebbiolo and 30% Croatina, Angliano is characterized by its deeper color, fuller body, and spicier notes. It is a structured yet elegant wine, perfectly rounded and well-suited for pairing with traditional local dishes, including red meat, game, and aged cheeses.

Nebbiolo takes center stage in the red wines of Cascina Piano, embodying the winery's dedication to this noble grape.

The white wines of "Ronchi Varesini IGT" are crafted to complement the region's renowned fish dishes from Lake Maggiore.

San Quirico: Leading the white wine range, San Quirico is predominantly made from Chardonnay, with a touch of local experimentation that adds a unique twist. This wine is the ideal pairing for lake fish, such as the celebrated perch, as well as white meats and a variety of cheeses.
Cascina Piano's wines are a testament to the rich heritage and natural beauty of the "Ronchi Varesini" region, offering wine lovers a true taste of the land with every sip.

Fantastic Boffday for Mrs H
We had a slight mishap on Our way up to the Winery, thankfully Some Lovely Peeps stopped, then alerted the Winery who joined Us straight away to help Us still enjoy the Wine Tasting experience, a Massive Thanx for waiting for Us before starting the Tour. It was a Very informative Tour and Vatting explanation, We then All started to Taste each of the Wines, I'm not a Wine drinker but really enjoyed attempting them (I usually drink Dark Ales that I Brew myself), Our host was knowledgeable & We enjoyed the Time, We shared Fun and Laughter with Fantastic Company from the USA x
We nearly All bought a few bottles of Our chosen Wines

Nice tour and tasting
The tour of the vineyard and the wine tasting was very nice! We were able to ask a lot of questions during both, and on top of that we really liked the wine :). The parking was easily found with maps and communication was very good.

Immersed in nature
Pleasant experience, courteous, helpful owners.
Completely immersed in nature with the background sound of cicadas, a location from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Rocca di Angera.
And last but not least, of course, excellent wines.

Between glasses and aromas: discovery and pleasure in tasting wines
The wine tasting was pleasant and interesting. I tasted several wines, from fresh whites to more full-bodied reds, appreciating different aromas and flavors. The atmosphere was relaxed and the sommeliers' explanations made the experience simple and engaging. A great way to discover new wines and refine the palate without stress.
I have no suggestions, it was a great experience!
