Cellar tour and tasting at Accornero (Bricco Battista)
Ask around Vignale for a serious Barbera and someone points you up to Ca' Cima, where the Accornero family has worked these hills since 1897. Their Autenticità Monferrina runs about ninety minutes for €25 — a walk through the fermentation and ageing cellars, then five native wines with a few local bites. Spend a little more for the full ACCORNERO 360° (€35, two hours) or the €60 vineyard tour that ends on four wines from the Grand Cru selection, Bricco Battista among them — the single-vineyard Barbera del Monferrato Superiore the estate built its name on. Book ahead through their site; they pour Monday to Saturday and want a proper appointment, not walk-ins.
