A family business through and through. The winery was founded a century and a half ago in one of Italy's most beautiful wine regions: Piedmont. Home to Italy's leading wines: Barolo, Moscato, and Barbaresco. Since its founding in 1871, Cascina Ghercina has located some of the finest vineyards in the most beautiful locations throughout Piedmont. The different generations at the helm of Cascina Ghercina share one common denominator: all grapes must come from their own vineyards. No grapes are sourced from elsewhere. This explains the exceptionally high quality of Cascina Ghercina's wines.
The finest Italian wines from Piedmont
Because all grapes must come from their own vineyards, production is not very high. Cascina Ghercina isn't exactly a major player in Piedmont in terms of absolute quantities. And acquiring vineyards is difficult due to the scarcity. Vineyards are particularly expensive around the village of Barolo. However, with this vision, Cascina Ghercina has ensured that its quality is sky-high. And lovers of Piedmont wines enjoy Cascina Ghercina with great pleasure.
The Barolo wines of Cascina Ghercina
Cascina Ghercina's best wines are undoubtedly its Barolo wines. Who doesn't love Barolo? They have two Barolo wines: the Cascina Ghercina Barolo and the Barolo Riserva. These come from small vineyards, and the yields of these top wines are therefore low. So enjoy a perfect wine like this Cascina Ghercina soon.
What is the best wine from Cascina Ghercina
Cascina Ghercina has mastered every aspect of fine Piedmont wines. It has planted several classic grape varieties, the most famous of which are Barbera, Arneis, and Nebbiolo. But Chardonnay lovers will also find plenty to enjoy with Cascina Ghercina Piemonte Chardonnay. Prefer a slightly sweet wine? Then try Cascina Ghercina Moscato d'Asti, from the world-famous Asti region. For a luxurious glass of wine, the Cascina Ghercina Roero Arneis is highly recommended. This wine is also a personal favorite of our own vinologists. The winery also produces a unique Appassimento wine, where some of the grapes are dried before pressing. A technique borrowed from Amarone, but also works well in Piedmont. It is not without reason that Cascina Ghercina Appassimento Piemonte Barbera is one of Cascina Ghercina's best-selling wines.
