Cellar visit and tasting at Vini Caldera
The Caldera family has made wine at Portacomaro Stazione, on the north-eastern edge of Asti, for four generations, and a member of the family hosts every visit. You start in the big old cellar, hearing how the work was done in the past and how it is done now, and then move on to a guided tasting. In the basic "Incontra e Degusta" format you pick four wines from Ruchè, Grignolino, Barbera, Viognier, Gavi, Dogliani, a Brut sparkling wine and Moscato. It takes about an hour and costs €20 a head, with a minimum of two people. The €25 version lasts an hour and a half and adds a fifth wine with salumi, cheese and grissini. Ruchè is the estate's main wine, and its 'Prevost' won Gambero Rosso's Tre Bicchieri in 2024. Groups of four or more can also ask for a blind or vertical tasting, priced on request. Book by phone or email.
