Cascina Morassino, led by Roberto Bianco, is one of the historic producers of Barbaresco in Piedmont. Formerly known as Bianco Alfredo e Figli, this family estate has been making wine since 1870 in the prestigious Ovello cru. With just 4.5 hectares of vineyards across the Ovello and Cottà subzones, Roberto crafts traditional-style Barbarescos aged in large oak casks, celebrated for their elegance, tension and exceptional aging potential.

L'histoire du domaine

The Bianco family's history in Barbaresco dates back to 1870, when Giovanni Bianco began bottling his own wines — one of the three oldest families in the village to do so. In the mid-20th century, the union of Alfredo Bianco and Giuseppina Rocca, from another local winemaking dynasty, solidified the family's standing among Barbaresco's elite. In 1961, the family acquired Cascina Morassino from the Pelissero family, marking a decisive turning point. The wines were then marketed under the label Bianco Alfredo e Figli, then Fratelli Bianco Luigi e Mauro from 1970. In 1984, the property was divided: Mauro Bianco officially founded Cascina Morassino in its current form, with his son Roberto at his side, who gradually took over winemaking. Trained at the prestigious Alba Oenology School, Roberto today embodies the fifth generation of winemakers, perpetuating a legacy of over 150 years without ever denying tradition.

Le terroir

Cascina Morassino extends over 4.5 hectares in the heart of Barbaresco village, including 3.5 hectares in the Ovello subzone — the northernmost cru of the appellation, situated at 270 metres elevation — and 1 hectare in the Cottà subzone in the neighbouring commune of Neive. Ovello is distinguished by its southeast exposure and calcareous clay soils rich in white marl, conferring remarkable finesse and minerality to the wines. The oldest vines date from 1967; Roberto adapts his parcel selection according to vintage conditions, favouring the coolest parcels in warm years and higher-altitude sites during wet harvests. Viticulture is sustainable, respectful of natural balances, without formal certification. In the cellar, the philosophy is one of self-effacement: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, ageing in large 25-hectolitre casks and used barriques, no fining or filtration. A winemaking approach that lets the terroir speak.

Les vins

The Cascina Morassino range celebrates Piedmont's native varieties. Roberto produces a fruity and inviting Dolcetto d'Alba, a taut and elegant Barbera d'Alba, and a Langhe Nebbiolo from young Barbaresco vines, already of remarkable quality. The heart of production lies in two Barbaresco DOCG cuvées: Barbaresco Morassino, an assemblage of the finest parcels according to vintage, and Barbaresco Ovello, sourced exclusively from the eponymous cru, vinified with a proportion of new oak during the first twelve months of ageing. The latter is the estate's signature: a wine of smoky intensity, with Pinot Noir-like elegance according to critic Antonio Galloni, displaying aromas of pomegranate, sour cherry, violet and truffle, carried by firm tannins and vibrant acidity. These are wines built for ageing, capable of evolving for thirty years and beyond. Antonio Galloni has hailed Cascina Morassino as "one of the hidden gems of Barbaresco".

Le vigneron

Roberto Bianco embodies the fifth generation of the family's winemakers. Born and raised among the Ovello vineyards, he grew up under the watchful eye of his father Mauro, who founded Cascina Morassino in 1984. Trained at the Alba Oenology School, Roberto gradually took over winemaking in the early 2000s. A discreet perfectionist, he manages the entire family estate single-handedly — vineyards, cellar, bottling — with his family's help only during harvest. His approach is distinguished by a rare balance between tradition and modernity: respect for ancestral methods (large casks, spontaneous fermentation), but also attention to the lunar calendar for bottling and rigour in ageing management. Roberto considers the vineyard as an interlocutor: "The grape gives you what it has received from the season, the soil and the hands that nurtured it," he confides. His wines are the sincere expression of this philosophy.
