Cantine Ascheri Giacomo: A Legacy of Barolo in Bra
Discover the traditional Barolo winemaking at Cantine Ascheri Giacomo in Bra, a historic winery with roots in the Langhe region since the early 19th century.
Cantine Ascheri Giacomo stands as a testament to Piedmont's rich winemaking history. The Ascheri family's journey began in the early 1800s in La Morra, where they pioneered innovative vine cultivation techniques. In 1880, Giacomo Ascheri strategically moved the winery to Bra, which was then a key hub for Barolo distribution due to its railway connection. Today, Cantine Ascheri Giacomo is managed by Cristina Ascheri, her son Matteo, and grandson Giuseppe, preserving the family's legacy. The winery cultivates 40 hectares of vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra and Bra, and is known for its traditional approach, which limits technology in order to express the terroir. Ascheri produces a range of wines, including Barolo, Barbera d'Alba, and Dolcetto d'Alba. A visit to Cantine Ascheri Giacomo offers an immersive experience, allowing guests to explore the cellars and taste the wines. The winery also has the Albergo Cantine Ascheri, a hotel with a restaurant on site. Cantine Ascheri Giacomo is more than just a winery; it's a living piece of Piedmont's winemaking heritage. With its commitment to tradition, sustainable practices, and the production of high-quality wines, Ascheri offers a unique and enriching experience for wine enthusiasts.
