A household name for 150 years

Cascina Ghercina has been a household name in the Italian wine region of Piedmont for almost 150 years. Barolo is the king of Piedmont, and Cascina Ghercina owns several vineyards within that region. Besides Barolo, the winery also boasts all the finest Piedmont wine regions, including Gavi, Roero, and Alba. These are all wine regions that captivate wine lovers. Cascina Ghercina scores in all of them. Cascina Ghercina's wines are all made from grapes grown on its own vineyards (not cooperatives) and offer excellent value for money. The name Cascina Ghercina comes from the Ghercina River. Thanks to this river and the high altitude, the grapes benefit from an exclusive microclimate.

A maturation of at least 26 months

The Nebbiolo grapes are harvested by hand and then aged for at least 26 months in large Slovenian barrels. This long aging process allows all the flavors and aromas to come together, revealing notes of dried flowers and spices, as well as oak, vanilla, plums, tobacco, and a hint of toast. The palate is rich and rounded with nuances of blackberries, plums, and currants, while the back of the palate reveals lovely spices, tobacco, and a hint of plum. A superb glass of Barolo! This Barola pairs well with game and braised beef.
