Antica Cascina San Rocco

Founded in 1965 by Michele Gaglione, this Ricaldone-based company has transformed a family vineyard into a multi-generational enterprise. Their work revolves around a single denomination, Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG, interpreted in its three recognized versions: still red, sparkling, and passito, all exceeding 11.5% alcohol. This is a deliberate focus on a single Monferrato grape variety, where grape selection and the latest cellar technologies engage in a dialogue with the region's unique character. This aromatic verticality tells the story of a landscape more than a catalog: from the sweet and recognizable scent of Brachetto, different nuances emerge depending on the vinification. Visitors to Ricaldone can experience this firsthand: guided tastings pair the wines with local artisanal cured meats and cheeses, revealing both the production philosophy and the hilly geography from which they originate. Booking a visit remains the most direct way to explore the three souls of this DOCG in a single tasting.
