Additional Information
My name is Jessica, it’s my pleasure to guide you on a tour of the vineyards and our wine cellar.
With a fervent zeal for wine, we produce it with a deep regard for the environment, relentlessly striving for superior quality whilst acknowledging the inherent poetry present within wine.
Our aim is to provide visitors an immersive exploration into the world of oenology, particularly via tastings and an educational journey through the stages of wine production from cultivation to maturation.
Join us for a scenic stroll through the vineyard, where, varying with the seasons, you can observe and gain an understanding of the various processes through which wine is made. Learn how the wine journey starts in the vineyard and continues in the cellar from alcoholic fermentation to wooden-barrel aging.
The experience culminates with a wine tasting session, complemented by locally-sourced produce from leading local farms.
In the event of inclement weather, all activities are moved indoors.
Tours commence at 11:00 and 16:00, but if these time slots do not suit your schedule, please feel free to get in touch!

Lovely family run vineyard and a must-try experience - Extremely interesting and entertaining tour through the vineyards to learn more about the history and processes of the piedmontese vines.
Delicious degustation paired with local products.
We were welcomed very warmly by the owners and were even offered a ride back to alba! Very much worth the visit!

Fine wine at a beautiful hillside vineyard !! - Our first stop on a eight day tour of the Piedmont was at Abellonio Cascina Piccaluga
Jessica, who is a member of this small family winery, offered a informative and entertaining tour of the vineyards, the production area and the cellars.
Expressed was their passion and dedication to producing the fine wine which we enjoyed during our visit. The tasting was accompanied by a tasty cheese and charcuterie offering. I would highly recommend a visit here!

Magical wine experience - We started off getting denied from our original Vineyard location. We luckily found Casinca Piccaluga last minute and they were able to host us, they even waited 40 min for us to arrive when the tour began at 4pm.
Upon arrival, the tour before us had just finished and we were greeted with open arms. We waited a few minutes to be hosted by Feredica ( a young lady who did an exceptional job with the tour and answering our questions). Once the tour finished the wine tasting began. We were hosted by both federica and Jessica (the owner). The wines and explanations were spectacular. Everything so delicious.
After our 6 wine tastings were over, we continued to talk with Jessica where she gave us an extra tasting along with trying a delicious dessert, Artisan Nutella.
Overall, if we could we would’ve done the tour again the next day. We recommend this amazing family own vineyard to anyone near Turino, Alba, Carmagnola or any surrounding cities near Alba.
Thank you to the Host and we hope to be back soon.
