Crotin cellar tour and tasting at Azienda Agricola Fea
Fea is a family winery south of Calosso, founded in 1960 and run since 1990 by Giuseppe Valente. When the cellar was restored in 2010, two old crotin came to light: underground rooms dug into the marl, where wine was once left to age. The tour takes you down into them and out along the vineyard, then back to the tasting room for five wines with a plate of local salumi, cheese and breadsticks. Expect a Calosso DOC from Gamba di Pernice alongside the Barbera d'Asti, Freisa and Langhe Nebbiolo. It takes about two hours and is for over-18s only. A shorter aperitif format (three wines, all ages) is also on offer. Book either one through Winedering, or call the winery.
