On the left bank of the Tanaro river, in the middle of the Roero, in the historic centre of Castagnito, is the family-run Cascina Goregn winery of Allerino Gaudenzio.
In Piedmontese “goregn” means tough, tenacious people with strong character.
This name was given to grandfather Francesco, born in 1898 and the company’s first generation, and has remained with the following generations.
Passion, attachment to the land, and careful and scrupulous control of the vineyards, which enjoy privileged exposure and suitable soil, guarantee a solid basis for producing great wines.

How to participate
Visits & Tastings
A sensory experience in a typical Roero wine cellar: from processing to tasting
The visit begins with a walk through the rows of vines, where the producer gives an on-the-spot account of the techniques used to work the vines in the different seasons.
After a tour among the barrels to discover the processing phases in the cellar and satisfy the visitors' curiosity, we move on to the tasting room for the most eagerly awaited moment, that of tasting.
Here you have the opportunity to taste and learn more about a variety of selected wines, exploring their organoleptic characteristics and the nuances that make them unique, paired with traditional dishes.
The winery offers two types of tasting: a classic one with a choice of three wines, breadsticks and hazelnuts, and a more elaborate one with four wines paired with four typical dishes.
