Roberto Abellonio’s cellar is the demonstration that pursuing one’s passions and believing in them all the way allows you to achieve even the most ambitious goals.
The nineteenth-century Cascina Piccaluga, inherited from Roberto’s family, stands above one of the most beautiful territories in the world, facing the towers of Alba and the incomparable panorama of the hills of Treiso and Barbaresco.
When 20 years ago the producer took over the old family vineyards and decided to get involved and produce wines, in a land already saturated with large cellars, he did so with the certainty of taking an insidious road.
Yet in a short time, with the help of his wife Jessica and his cousin oenotechnician Alessandro, Roberto comes out with the first labels that from the beginning attract the attention of the local market.
Roberto states that he’s first of all a passionate consumer of the great wines of Langhe.
Both involved in confagricoltura, wife and husband manage to create important synergies with the other territorial realities such as a collaboration with the Segway tours, which involves them more in the tourism of the Langhe.
Roberto states that he’s first of all a passionate consumer of the great wines of Langhe. He is therefore committed to vinifying a product that he himself has the pleasure of drinking.
The contribution of the young Alessandro brings the most advanced and modern techniques of vinification to the cellar, which combined with an uncompromising respect for the territory give life to elegant, fragrant, and sincere wines.
To welcome you you will find the producer himself or his wife Jessica
The Wines
The precious composition of the soil and the microclimate of these hills, combined with technique and experience, are entirely enclosed in Abellonio's bottles.
The different combination percentages of clays, calcareous marls, bluish marls, sands, and gypsiferous chalks in the subsoil layers yield wines of excellent structure, finesse, elegance, and persistence.
By inaugurating experimentation in the cellar, the oenotechnician Alessandro introduced innovative techniques, while keeping an eye on tradition and a great attention to detail.
The reds
In the reds, the characteristics deriving from the soil, climate, and territory stand out, merging into full-bodied wines, complex and suitable for aging.
The whites
In the vinification of white wines, maximum attention is paid to the preservation of aromas and to enhancing the typicality of the grape varieties.

Experiences
As soon as you get out of the car, you are overwhelmed by the view, which with almost 360° of vineyards leaves you breathless in every season.
Each period of the year is characterized by different tasks, and consequently by a slightly different tour.
The route followed is however the classic one, with an introductory walk among the rows when the weather permits and with the subsequent visit to the vinification and aging rooms.
During the tour, two fundamental principles of the winery will become evident: respect for the territory and cleanliness.
The first, visible in the vineyard, is further guaranteed by the SQNPI certification, while you can verify the second particularly in the cellar: all three are committed to minimizing the risk of bacterial contamination, which can lead to unwanted odors and tastes.
At the end of the tour, you can decide whether to proceed with the tasting in the barrel cellar (reserved for small groups) or whether to move to the tasting room or the panoramic courtyard during the fine season.
The winery offers two types of tasting:
- Langa Essence: a tasting of 5 wines chosen from the labels produced, with the pairing of local products and cold dishes → € 20 per person
- Segway Tour: in collaboration with an agency in Alba, it is possible to reach the winery by Segway starting from Alba, and conclude with a tasting of 3 wines with appetizers → € 85 per person

Roberto's three passions
Roberto's constant search for freedom translates into three elements: mountains, motorcycles, and the production of wines with a strong character.
The producer has always been aware of his willpower and the motivation that comes into play when he tries to pursue his passions: the mountains, the motorcycle, and wine production.
The three elements share a meeting point that helps to understand the character of this winery: the search for freedom.
Freedom that Roberto achieves through ski mountaineering, direct contact with the truest nature, with pure and uncontaminated nuances.
The same freedom he feels on his motorcycle while riding on the hilly roads of his beloved Langhe.
And finally, freedom that is transmitted to him by the vine, an element in which he manages to express himself.
This is his concept of freedom: following the plant, caring for it, watching it grow, harvesting its fruits, and transforming them into a final product that is loved and appreciated.
SQNPI certification
A further step was taken in 2018 with the choice to join the SQNPI, which testifies to the increased attention over the years.
The abbreviation stands for "National Quality System of Integrated Pest management" and it is a certification scheme, recognized at Community level, which aims to enhance the agricultural production of vegetables obtained in compliance with the regional integrated pest management regulations.
Roberto’s cousin is the winemaker of the cellar, focused on the most modern and innovative techniques
Each vineyard has a sign with a name dedicated to a local character
Together with the mountains and viticulture, the bike is a great passion of the producer
