"Casa Vinicola Ca’ Bianca" opened in 1952, in the Alessandria area of the Alto Monferrato, which is now part of the small municipality of Alice Bel Colle, a stone’s throw from Acqui Terme.The winery name was inspired by the local name of this area "al ca’ bianche".

The headquarters are in the Cascina Spagna, a farmstead acquired in the 1980s whose origins are rooted in history, at a time when the Spanish were at war with France and the Venetian Republic, in the 1620s.

Its high-hill position made it a strategic site, offering an overview for everyone travelling across the entire valley beneath. In August 1997, the estate grew to include the Cascina Polsino farm of about 9 hectares under vine, in a single plot of prized terrain in the estate.

Tenimenti Ca’ Bianca occupies an area of more than 24 hectares in a single plot, set around the cellars, and the central viewpoint offers a stunning view. The lands around the estate are particulary dedicated to the cultivation of vines. They were formed 13 million years ago, in the Miocene period, on the sandy bed of a quite shallow ancient sea. The estate grows a selection of Dolcetto, Gavi, Moscato, and Brachetto, as well as three different types of Barbera, a local varietal which adopts the DOC Barbera d’Asti. Read more
