NEBBIOLO

Barbaresco is a fantastic red wine from Piedmont, a region in Northern Italy. Barbaresco Cottà comes from one of the best-known Barbaresco subzones and is a historic cru, one of the first to be produced from a single vineyard. It’s a tiny area, producing no more than 15 hl from the vines that for the most part are more than 50 years old. The clay marl soil produces rich, solid and robust wines which marry well with Nebbiolo. The wine is aged in German and Austrian oak for 2 years. Grape: Nebbiolo 100%

ALBINO ROCCA

The Winery: Albino Rocca
Albino Rocca, they established the company in 1955 in one of the most precious region of Piemonte--Barbaresco. 1971 was the first vintage of Barbaresco. Recently they have gained their “Green Experience” certification, an achievement granted solely for Piemonte wines with vinicultural methods that conserve natural resources and protect the landscape of the region through natural agricultural methods and chemical reduction. Their Barbarescos are aged in large twenty hectolitre neutral oak barrels to highlight the Nebbiolo grape and produce a more elegant, less oaky style.
