Barbera d'Alba doc Bric Loira Cascina Chicco 2016

As the other Barbera wines, also this one presents an intense ruby red colour with yellow-crowned nuances, besides intense and motley perfumes with the add of plum’s jam’, cherries’, mature blackberries’, dog rose’ and currants’ scents. This is a well-structured wine, with a good body, while the taste is dry and shows a persistent, high acidity. It is perfect if drunk together with typical platters of Piedmont, stuffed pasta, tagliatelle and medium seasoned cheeses. 

The estate of Cascina Chicco has deep roots in the heart of the Roero and it explains the old rural culture and the passion for vineyards and wine of this territory. His consolidated tradition of wine makers has increased both by oenological modern competences, and by the other vineyards’ acquisitions in the most famous regions of the Roero. Today Cascina Chicco cultivates 35 hectares of vineyards all in hill, and the estate gains, with a great satisfaction, a huge production of Arneis, Nebbiolo d’Alba, Roero, Barbera d’Alba, Favorita and Brachetto.
