La Cantina
The PQlin winery is located in Castagnito, a small town in Roero separated from the Langhe hills by the Tanaro River.
This is an area popular with lovers of Piedmontese food and wine, culture, and the outdoors, thanks to its dense network of hiking trails and the Rocche del Roero.
In a winery that combines tradition, technique, attention to the environment and vineyard ecosystems, it is owner Margherita Battaglino who welcomes guests.
The Q, the protagonist of the logo, replacing the syllable /cu/, was chosen as a symbol of continuity between the family of the progenitor Angelo, known as the little one, and the generation to come, the fourth, identified on the label by the sunrise among the Roero hills.

How to participate
It is she, the owner, who welcomes guests and takes them on a tour of the company
This ancient practice is currently implemented to help preserve the bunches of grapes so that they reach the winery intact
A tasting among the rows can be arranged by accompanying the wines with local products
Visits & Tastings
The visit to the winery is essential to make guest aware of the wine they will decide to taste
The visit to the winery and the tasting are led by Margherita, who welcomes guests with typical Roero conviviality: zero-kilometer fruit and water to refresh, which soon gives way to wine.
In a green space jokingly renamed the Solarium del Roero, a panoramic and sunny spot overlooking the surrounding hills and villages, the winery, its history and territory are introduced.
This is followed by a visit to the winery according to the entire grape tour: an instructive and never boring tour, useful at the tasting stage to better understand how the proposed wines are born and evolve and how the style of each is influenced by the type of processing, aging and the containers inside which it rests: steel or wood.
