La Cantina
With its 400 meters of hight, the town of Santo Stefano Roero is one of the highest municipalities in Roero.
The territory, characterized by hills rich in wooded areas alternating with vineyards, is known for the presence of the Rocche del Roero: a geological phenomenon of erosion in continuous evolution.
The Francesco Rosso farm can be reached along panoramic roads that allow you to look out over a scenic landscape, full of small villages and characteristic towers, witnesses of the presence of man since ancient times.
At the helm of the family-run company are the owners Francesco and his wife Maria. It is their care to accompany guests in the visit and tasting of the company’s production.
Promotion of the quality Italian wine industry
Francesco is one of the nearly 1500 members of Fivi, the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers.
It is an association that focuses on the winemaker, understood as a figure who represents the entire supply chain: from the deep bond with the territory, of which he feels the guardian, to the glass, of which he is the guarantor in direct relationship with the consumer.

How to participate

The cellar, deliberately small in size, follows the philosophy of entirely family management
The name of this vineyard derives from the Piedmontese dialect and literally means Casa d’Andrea, from the name of the old owner of the house present among the rows
Per questa delicata operazione ci si affida all’esperienza nel raccogliere i grappoli e nel trasporto in cantina in appositi contenitori forati
Visits & Tastings
The visit begins with a panoramic walk in the Cà d’Dreja vineyards
The company history, the territory and how exposure and natural elements influence the yield of the wines are introduced between the rows.
The work in the vineyard is carried out directly by the owners through sustainable treatments in respect of nature and the consumer.
The visit continues in the wine-making and aging rooms where it is possible to taste the wines directly from the cask and visit the barrel cellar.
Here in the barriques and tonneaux of different passage the Nebbiolo, the Barbera and the Passito mature, for a period necessary for the wine to harmonize its components.
Types of tastings
The tasting takes place in the historic 1930s farmhouse owned by Francesco's family and can take place outdoors, in the barrel room or in the dedicated tasting room.
Passito will be available again from spring 2024, and you will be able to enjoy it paired with a dessert of our own making (hazelnut cake or chocolate salami) as part of some tasting sessions.
