A playful expression of Barbaresco with notes of cherry, rose and licorice. Mid-weight with smooth texture and fine tannins. Easy drinking straight out of the gate.

Spontaneous fermentation in concrete tanks. They do not punch down the wines, they prefer to use the traditional steccatura method to keep the cap submerged. This allows for a slower, longer maceration and more depth of flavor. Aged 18 months in Slavonian oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

The Roccalini vineyard has plantings going back as far as 1961. It sits at a southwestern exposure on a hill overlooking the Tanaro River at 1,000ft elevation. The soil is a combination of clay and marl. The grapes for the Barbaresco come from the most mature plantings. Site is biodynamically farmed by Paolo Veglio himself.
