Cascina Chicco 1997 Bric Loira Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $26
A splendid wine that is both dense and complex. Very pleasing and well-integrated black-cherry, herb and toast aromas open to a mouthful of concentrated fruit, pepper, coffee, cake and more. Top-notch.

Cascina Chicco 2007 Rocche di Castelletto Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $74
From the Monforte d’Alba area of Barolo, this deeply concentrated and rich wine is etched by sharp aromas of licorice, black pepper, red cherry, chocolate, leather and cigar box. The mouthfeel, with its soft, velvety tannins, is particularly pleasurable. Drink after 2015.

Cascina Chicco 1997 Valmaggiore Nebbiolo (Roero)
- $25
Quite dark in color, this densely aromatic and flavored red delivers lots of blackberry, plum and oak notes on the nose, followed by black-cherry and chocolate flavors. The mouthfeel is rich, but with a tangy acidity that keeps it lively, and the finish is long. It lacks the pedigree of some top Piedmontese wines but delivers more flavor and texture than many more…

Cascina Chicco 1999 Bric Loira Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $28
Piercing aromas of damp earth, cocoa and leather tell you most of what you need to know: This is the real deal. A mouth full of cherry and currant may not push finesse, but the fruit is merciless in its intensity. Juicy and full, with gas in the tank.

Cascina Chicco 2006 Valmaggiore Riserva Nebbiolo (Roero)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
Here’s a ripe and soft expression of Roero Riserva with jammy notes of strawberry and raspberry folded within drying aromas of black mineral and exotic spice. Those telltale tannins are present although this expression is slightly more supple and plush.

Cascina Chicco 2007 Valmaggiore Riserva Nebbiolo (Roero)

Valmaggiore Riserva exhibits dark color and concentration with a mixed bag of aromas that spans dark fruit, prune, olive and caper. The mouth sees more richness and softness with a seductive touch of sweet spice on the finish.

Cascina Chicco 2008 Granera Alta Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- $20
Here is a plush and elegant Barbera d’Alba with bright fruit tones followed by graphite, a dash of exotic spice and pretty earthy nuances. The wine is bright and fruity in the mouth with cherry and blackberry on the close.

Cascina Chicco 2008 Montespinato Nebbiolo (Roero)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
This Roero offers density, pulp and dried fruit characteristics of prune, cassis and candied apricot. The nice thing is that the mouthfeel is rounded off by soft shadings of ground clove and cinnamon. Tart bitterness on the close implies a pairing with cheesy pasta.
