Notes from the producer:

Founded in the heart of Roero by Ernesto "Chicu" Faccenda and curated by the Faccenda family ever since, Cascina Chicco is one of the region's few family-run wineries that produce every wine style, including Roero, Langhe Nebbiolo, white and rose' Metodo Classico and Barolo.

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 oak casks of 600 litres for 8-9 months before being transferred again to stainless steel casks. It’s bottled in June and September and is ready for the market one year after harvest.

Tasting notes: The colour is red and it has an ethereal, elegant fragrance; there are hints of violet, marasca cherry, and final notes of spice. It’s full, aristocratic, and delicate.

Dishes: This wine is perfect with roasts, game, and aged cheeses.
