Founded in the 1920s, Il Cascinone is one of the main estates in the Monferrato hills of Acqui devoted to the production of Barbera d'Asti.
Characterized by steep vineyards that are difficult to maintain and cultivate, in the second half of the 20th century Il Cascinone suffered a slow abandonment and a substantial loss of vineyards. In 2001, it was purchased by Araldica who decided to bring it back to its former glory. A very long work of restoration and replanting of the vineyards today makes Il Cascinone the flagship of the area.
The warmer, southwest-facing slopes grow Barbera, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, whilst the northeast slopes are ideal for more aromatic varieties Brachetto and Moscato, along with Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
Hosted by Nigel from our wine partners, don't miss out on this evening exploring Il Cascinone's story and wines. Food is provided and there will be a discount on the featured wines on the night.
