The Cascina del Rosone wines

We are a small single vinyard producer and make up to 13 000 bottles per season, from our excellent biological vinyard of Barbera grapes. The vinyard is in the commune Agliano Terme in Asti in the middle of the UNESCO world culture wine country.

The Barbera grape is the most important grape for wine production in Piedmont, it is looked upon as the little brother of the Nebbiolo grape which most often gets the best spot in the vinyards. Asti, however, is the one appellation where the best parts of the vinyards are dedicated to the Barbera grape. At Cascina del Rosone we only cultivate Barbera grapes and we produce different biological DOCG-certified Barbera wines.

The wine production at Cascina del Rosone is according to biological principles. The grapes are tended to and picked by hand.

Since we started in 2018 with two wines, the award winning Anfora and the classical superiore Barile both certified bilogical DOCG Barbera d'Asti wines, we have developed our range of wines. 

The Anfora was awarded in the Rosso-category by the Wine Hunter

and also in 2022. 

Since 2020 we have produced Rosato from our barbera grapes. Rosato is red wine grapes made in the white wine method, short pressing of the grapes and then maturation without the skins. It results in a both structured and delicate wine.

From 2023 we produce a white wine on the local Cortese grape, grapes grown by our neighbouring wine producer, the DURIO Wines family. 

From 2021 our vinyard was certified to make DOCG Nizza wine, resulting in the spueriore wine turning into a Nizza wine from the 2021 vintage and onwards.

 Also in 2021 we made our first Riserva, called Devoto, Signifying our devotion to make excellent biological wine of high quality.

Moreover, we co-operate with the famous Norwegian chef Dag Tjersland who has dedicated his cooking to Italian food. He particularly enjoys our anfora stored wine, so much that we have entered into a co-operation with Dag about making the most of our anfora wine. In his restuarants in Oslo, among them Palazzo Communale, he presents our anfora wine in his own bottles, honouring our wine by naming the wine Min Barbera (My Barbera), signifying how this wine is his favourite choice of barbera wines from the region.

Tours in the vinyard and the cantina:

We are happy to take you on a tour in the vinyards and to our cantina and show you how the wine is produced and tell you about our philosophy of winemaking.

Storing the  Anfora wine on amphoras gives the wine an unique and pure Barbera taste. The  French oak barrels where we store our Barile wine, th Nizza and the Devoto, give the wine the sophisticated taste of the classical Barbera wines.
