How does this wine taste?
How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inStarted by the grandfather in the 1950s with the purchase of a 1-hectare vineyard in Canale, the Faccenda family emerged within a few decades as one of the most important wine producers in the Roero region. The choice of vineyards was therefore very deliberate: all six are located in Cru areas: Mompissano in Canale, Valmaggiore in Vezza d'Alba, and Ginestra in Monforte d'Alba.
Cascina Chicco offers red, white, and “metodo classico” wines, each of top quality: from the classic Roeros, including a red Roero and a white Roero Arneis, the “crowd-pleaser” Barbera, and the “Nebbiolo” king Barolo. The renowned “Gambero Rosso” guide has already written glowing reviews of this promising winery on several occasions.
The Arneis grapes come from the winery located in Canale, Piedmont, Italy, in the heart of the appellation. Anterisio is a small zone of Canale with a very rich history and is considered one of the most important places for the cultivation of Arneis. The soil consists mainly of clay-limestone. After evaluating the sugar and acidity levels, the optimal harvest period is determined, but it is always in the month of September. The hand-harvested grapes rest overnight in a cold room at 0-2°C. Pressing takes place the following day. Maceration is performed with the skins, which is an interesting choice for a white wine and is more labor-intensive, but it gives the wine more aroma, structure, and longevity; not to mention, the skins also contain healthy antioxidants. Temperatures are deliberately kept very cool during all operations. It takes more time, but it is precisely this (longer) time that ensures gradual ripening and always produces finer wines. After this, the wine ages in stainless steel tanks.
This Roero Anreis from Cascina Chicco has a beautiful yellow-green color with fragrant apricot and apple aromas on the nose, but after some time we also detect chamomile and herbs. On the palate, this Roero Arneis is juicy and harmonious with good structure. Alongside the one from Montaribaldi , this Roero Arneis is definitely our favorite. Elegance from Piedmont.

Wine features
Cascina Chicco now has several vineyards with a total area of 40 hectares. One of the vineyards, Ginestra, is located near the town of Monforte d'Alba, in the middle of the production area of the Barolo. In this vineyard, with an area of 5 hectares, Nebbiolo is planted for their Barolo Rocche di Castelletto.
The wine cellar, with an area of about 1800 square meters, has been completely excavated into the hill. The cellar is therefore partly located under the building and extends almost 30 meters under the hill. It is divided into a labyrinth of corridors, alcoves and rooms. Centrally located in the basement is the beautiful Sala della Ruota. It is a huge dodecagonal space with a dome and a large number of arches. The floor consists of an image of the wheel of the Roero, the symbol of the lords who ruled in this region in the Middle Ages and later. Above a number of niches are paintings depicting different generations of the Faccenda family. The stones used to build the cellar come in part from an old farm that once stood on the property. This ensures the old and authentic look of the cellar.
Deze Roero Arneis toont een fris geel-groene kleur met geurige tonen van abrikoos en appel, een kruidige kamille-achtergrond en door de schilmaceratie een aangename textuur en goede structuur met sappige, frisse zuren. Daardoor sluit hij uitstekend aan bij witte vis, schelpdieren, salades en vegetarische gerechten omdat de frisse zuren en ietwat vlezige structuur vetten en zilte smaken mooi snijden en de fruitige, kruidige nuances versterken; probeer hem vooral bij licht gegrilde of in olijfolie gebakken vis met citroen, gestoomde of op de grill bereide schaaldieren, frisse kruiden- en citrusdressing op salades of bij gegrilde groenten en vegetarische gerechten met olie, citroen en verse kruiden.
