Cascina Alberta

Cascina Alberta can be defined as an "integrated" company: we started producing wines in 2012, by cultivating both old and young vineyards that surround the property. In 2017 we also added the hospitality activity: we created 7 luxury Suites, trying to give our guests the possibility to relax and enjoy our wonderful hills. We are located in Treiso, in the heart of Barbaresco wine production area.
Since the beginning of our story, we always tried to maintain a sustainable approach to both cultivation and wine production. We are organic certified since 2019 and therefore we don't use products of chemical origin in our fields. Moreover, we ferment our wines only with indigenous yeasts, that we personally select year after year. Our goal is to express our personality, our soil and our terroir through our wines: for this reason we always prefer brief and light aging processes, in big Slavonian oak barrels; in this way, everyone who tastes our wines can have a sip of our reality directly in the glass.

Our Langhe Riesling (100% riesling grapes) is obtained from young Riesling vineyards. After the hand-made harvest at the beginning of September, the grapes reach the cellar and they are are gently pressed; the wine remains in contact with the skins for 24 hours, than the fermentation takes place through the use of indigenous yeastsin stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in terracotta amphorae for 6 months and, during this period, the malolactic fermentation takes place. The color is intense straw yellow with strong aromatic scents of dried flowers and hydrocarbons. The taste is young but intense with an important structure: this wine is an excellent accompaniment for important fish dishes such as soup or stewed fish, also combined with a selection of medium aged cheeses.
