Cascina Roccalini – Barbaresco Roccalini – 2017

Cascina Roccalini represents the REAL Langa winery. Managed by Paolo Veglio, a true vigneron of yesteryear has cultivated the family’s 5 hectares of vineyard with all his passion for his land since he was a child, but only since 2004 does he come out with his own label. The vines are all located in the Roccalini cru (where the company then takes its name), one of the most renowned and qualitative Nebbiolo vineyards from Barbaresco, with perfect southwest exposure and clayey soils. In fact, this vineyard was noted precisely for its quality of grapes by the legendary Bruno Giacosa, so much so that it rented the parcel from Paolo Veglio’s father until 2004.
Paolo’s style is simple, low yields, zero use of chemicals, long submerged cap fermentation in concrete tanks and aging in large barrels.
His wines are majestic, clean, structured but refined, which have now become a symbol for Langa wines.
His Barbaresco is produced in 10,000 bottles and ages for 18 months in large oak barrels and 18 months in the bottle. This is not the typical female barbaresco, it stands out precisely for its character and structure, great acidity on the finish and strawberry and licorice aromas on the nose. Super Chicca. Valuable!
