Azienda Agricola Cascina Piano
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The artistry of Cascina Piano extends beyond the vineyard to its wine labels, which are inspired by local frescoes and historical references.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.

Between glasses and aromas: discovery and pleasure in tasting wines
I have no suggestions, it was a great experience!
Excellent
Beautiful experience
We were able to taste their excellent quality wine (which we also purchased), accompanied by detailed explanations, unhurriedly in an almost family-like atmosphere.
The shuttle service offered by the owners was very convenient: they came to pick us up in the parking lot at the foot of the hill and then drove us back.
Recommended experience.
Excellent
Fabulous
Lovely experience with friendly staff
The location was beautiful and worth the many narrow and twisty roads to get there. The staff were very friendly and attentive, answering all our questions about both the wine and the local area.
Of course the wine was delicious, and also affordable enough to bring a few bottles back with us!
I would definitely recommend this experience.
