La Cantina
A short distance from the historic center of Canale, the Giacomo Vico historic winery represents one of the most significant realities of Roero viticulture. Here, high-quality wines are produced by vinifying exclusively local grapes.
Each label is the result of a process that follows traditional methods linking the company to the history and culture of the territory. The style is recognizable and authentic: elegant and pleasant wines that carry a clear classic and local imprint.
Since 2010, the winery has operated within modern and functional spaces that preserve the original structure of the building. Here, work is done with a strong focus on sustainability and using clean energy.
Booking in advance means ensuring a carefully organized experience to be enjoyed in total relaxation; therefore, booking at least 24 hours in advance is necessary to best prepare the welcome.
