Azienda Agricola Cascina Ca’ Rossa di Ferrio Angelo is an organic wine estate in Canale d’Alba, Cuneo Province in the Piemonte region of north-west Italy. It produces Roero Arneis DOCG whites and Langhe Nebbiolo DOC, Barbera d’Alba DOC, and Roero Riserva DOCG reds.

Owners: Angelo Ferrio, son of Alfonso Ferrio who founded the domaine by buying the family farmhouse overlooking the Canale-Asti road in the 1960s. It was a mixed farm, with cows, fruit trees, and a small vineyard. The first wines were bottled in 1995 after Angelo had returned from military service (previously the wines were sold in demi-johns). More land was acquired, in the prized areas of Roero including in Audinaggio in Vignamaggiore di Vezza d’Alba (a very steep site).
