CASCINA BARISEL Azienda Agricola

From Canelli, Cascina Barisel operates across three of Piedmont's most recognizable denominations. The Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato DOCG intertwines Ruchè and Barbera in elegantly crafted reds; the Terre Alfieri DOCG pairs white wines from Arneis with red wines from Nebbiolo; the Barbera d'Asti DOCG, with at least four months of aging, completes a trio that covers diverse registers, from aromatic to more structured. Here, winemaking is understood as the guardianship of the UNESCO-recognized hills, with the knowledge of previous generations transferred into every vintage. This is not a rhetorical pose but a method: precision in the cellar and respect for natural rhythms, so that each denomination maintains its own voice rather than conforming to a single style. The range of grapes—from the aromaticity of Ruchè to the verticality of Arneis and the texture of Barbera—presents a plural portrait of Monferrato and Asti. Those who arrive in Canelli can explore this variety glass by glass: a visit to the cellar is the most tangible way to understand how three nearby appellations can speak such different languages.
