Giacomo Vico - Barbera d'Alba DOC Superiore

Appuntamenti

La Cantina

Just a short distance from the historic center of Canale, the Giacomo Vico winery represents one of the most significant winemaking realities of the Roero. High-quality wines are produced here by vinifying exclusively local grapes.

Each label is the result of a process that follows traditional methods that link the winery to the history and culture of the area. The style is recognizable and authentic: elegant and pleasant wines that carry a clear classical and local imprint.

Since 2010, the winery has been operating within modern, functional spaces that preserve the original structure of the building. Here we work with a strong focus on sustainability and using clean energy.

A significant honor

Since February 2020, the company has been listed in the Register of Historical Enterprises of Italy recognized by Unioncamere and the Italian Chambers of Commerce with the aim of rewarding companies that have been operating in the same product sector for at least 100 years.
