For generations now the history of the Rabino family is intertwined with wine and work in the vineyard.
The company is family-run and all the works are taken care of personally; upon arrival the guests will always find a member of the family to welcome them.
The activities to be discovered during the visit are numerous and diversified: winemaking, breeding, floriculture.
Luigi, Daniela, Paolo, Silvia, Adelaide: everyone carries out their duties, but always with mutual help in every area of production.
Adelaide leads guests to discover the company starting from the panoramic point
Luigi Rabino is the founder of Coalvi, the Piedmontese Breed Protection Consortium, which since 1984 has guaranteed the origin and quality of beef.
During the tasting the wines, their characteristics and combinations are presented
A story that
begins in 1862
in Canale
The origins of the Rabino family date back to the Middle Ages
The settlement in Roero, in the same lands that are still owned by the family today, followed the escape from the Alta Langa due to the frequent barbarian incursions.
Wine production began in the mid-19th century with a small production reserved for family and friends: a passion that still did not represent a profit.
It was then Luigi Rabino, grandfather of the current owner and subsequent descendants, who marketed the wines.
Already during the period preceding the world wars many of the varieties still produced were bottled.
Sharing, overcoming difficult historical moments of the twentieth century and increasing demand, have today made the company a reality in the Roero area with diversified and almost fully self-sustainable production.
The Wines
The Rabino company produces white and red wines representative of the territory
The Cavajè Sparkling Wine is one of the wines that’s “worth a trip” to the company.
It’s a Spumante Brut with an Arneis base, produced in the municipality of Canale by the Vigna Cavajè; one of a kind.
Created for those looking for a wine with a spicy aroma, ideal for accompanying an appetizer and for preparing cocktails with a sparkling wine. Excellent, savored after a meal.
The typical wines of Roero
Roero Arneis Gioca, with a straw yellow color tending to green and fruity flavors, differs from other whites for its longevity.
It goes well with fish dishes, appetizers and aperitifs, but it is also an ideal companion for vegetable dishes, white meats and cheeses.
Roero DOCG is the king of wines born from the best hills facing south-west.
Ruby in color with garnet reflections, it goes well with important red meats, such as shank and braised meat, and with all game.

Products
From the apricot harvest they obtain the artisan jam prepared according to an ancient recipe
The production is completed with the Tonda and Gentile quality hazelnuts of the Langhe, obtained from the 10 hectares of the owned hazelnut grove and with apricots.
These products are partly sold and partly processed.
Hazelnuts, shelled, toasted and put under vacuum, represent an excellent typically Piedmontese snack.
The apricots not sold on the markets are processed and transformed into jam by a small workshop in Chieri.
Apricot jam
Fragrant and with an intense flavor, the jam creates an excellent flavor contrast.
Try it combined with the typical Piedmontese toma.
Both products are served during the tasting and can be purchased in the cellar.
Breeding and sustainability
Production is extremely limited, with about 1200 cans per year
The hazelnuts are obtained from the 100 hectares of hazelnut grove through manual work in total respect of the environment
The Fassona Piemontese is the great ally of corporate sustainability
Visits & Tastings
Guests arriving in the cellar are always welcomed by a member of the family, usually Daniela or Adelaide

Barbera d'Alba DOC La Ciapa
A wine born in the second half of 2020
The surprise of the Rabino Company for 2020 is all in the Barbera d’Alba called La Ciapa.
The processing foresees an aging of 18-20 months in large French oak barrels, followed by a period in the bottle in order to reach the right maturation.
This wine is characterized by an intense ruby red color, tending to garnet with aging.
It offers aromas of coffee and spicy notes such as pink pepper and red juniper, up to the more fruity ones of cherry and plum.
It goes well with meat sauces and with important main courses.
