Ca’ Bianca is one of the youngest cellars in the Piedmontese wine scene. The Ca’ Bianca Estates extend over an area of 39 hectares on the hills of Alto Monferrato in a single unit in the shape of a circle around the vinification cellar. Established in the early fifties, Ca’ Bianca sets out to make the most of the best attributes of the typical vine variety of the area, the Barbera, which here adopts the domination Barbera d’Asti.

In the southern part of the province of Alessandria near the Ligurian Apennines, we find excellent wine country for the production of the great Piedmont white, Gavi. Due to the deep valleys, proximity to the sea and the microclimate of this area, wines display unique peculiarities, which combine the characteristic structure of wines from the Po Valley with the richness of flavour generated by the salty sea breezes.
Ca' Bianca Roero Arneis 2018 is an aromatic white wine with intense notes of exotic fruits like kiwi, papaya and mango, with hints of herbs. On the palate it is fresh and fruity, with a medium acidity.
The Langa zone, both the area near Asti and that near Alba, has always been excellent wine country, especially for the growing of Nebbiolo, which plays an important role not only on the Italian winemaking scene, but also internationally. This is particularly the case on the hillsides overlooking the town of Alba, where the Nebbiolo grapes ripen and give us the so-called King of Wines: Barolo.
