The story
The winery has been active since the 1950s and is centered around its winemaking facility in Alice Bel Colle, near Acqui Terme. Official and specialist sources describe Ca' Bianca as a reality rooted in the Piedmont territory and now part of the Tenimenti/Ca' Bianca project of Gruppo Italiano Vini. Some sources indicate the start of operations in the early 1950s; descriptions nonetheless agree on the estate’s historical presence and the winery’s growth throughout the 20th century.
Production philosophy
