For centuries, the “Cascina” has been the basis of Piedmont's rural tradition. From our 10 farmsteads we produce terroir wines with a distinct territorial identity.
We do this because we believe in the agricultural and cultural heritage of these hills and the deep connection between the land, Piedmontese tradition and the quality of our wines. Our mission is to proctect the winemaking and convivial culture of Piedmont and spread it across the globe. Today, just like we did yesterday and just like we’ll do tomorrow, we take care of our farmsteads as true territorial and winemaking landmarks, whose characteristics are reflected in the character of the wine.
