Old clone Barbera and from a particular selection, fermented in steel and aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for about 12/15 months.
About the Producer
Cascina delle Rose is located in the Rio Sordo Valley in Barbaresco. This 5 hectare estate is run by Giovanna Rizzolio and Italo Sobrino and their sons, Riccardo and Davide. As the name suggests, roses are indeed omnipresent on the farm and in the vineyards, practicing organic viticulture. It has been a family run business since 1948, but they only bottled and sold under the Casina delle Rose label after Giovanna took over in 1992.
Giovanna Rizzolio was one of the few women running a winery in the Langhe in the early 90’s – she was a pioneer for women winemakers in the region.
Tasting Notes
Intense and brilliant ruby red tending to garnet. Red berries, snappy, good acid structure, but fine and elegant.
Warm, harmonious and persistent finish. Great drinkability.
