We are proud of our roots and our history, starting with our name. It was a tradition among the people of the Roero and Langhe to give people a 'stranome', a friendly, identifying nickname that was used within the local communities. Chicu was the stranname of grandfather Ernesto, founder of the company. From him, the nickname was passed on to Dad Federico, to us and to our children, indicating the Faccenda family and its generations.
1950 Ernesto Faccenda bought the first hectare of land a few steps from Canale, in the heart of the Roero. A sausage-maker by profession, he had realised the potential of viticulture in an area that had always had a vocation for wine. He started a production of Nebbiolo and Barbera d'Alba, which he sells in demijohns or as bulk wine. Alongside wine, he cultivates peaches, the excellence of the Roero hills.
