From this winery
  • Start up year: 1961
  • Oenologist: Mario Ronco, Alessaio Tacchino, Romina Tacchino
  • Bottles produced: 120.000
  • Hectares: 12
For more than three generations, the Tacchino Family has produced wine that is well-known for its quality. Alessio and Romina represent the new generation, inheriting the passion for these lands from their grandfather, who was the founder, and from their father Luigi.

Employing the best production techniques and supported by a trusted team of oenologists and agronomists, Romina and Alessio add value to a wine that is already intrinsically good. The Tacchino winery was born in Castelletto d’Orba, in Piemonte’s Alto Monferrato, around the second half of the last century. Among these prestigious land, rich in tradition, flows the production of white Gavi and red Dolcetto di Ovada and Barbera del Monferrato, which are still today the most precious pearls of the company. Together with these wines, thanks to the loving and skilful processing of the hills and the grapes generated by them, the winery has over time produced equally precious wines that complement the more traditional ones.
