WINE DESCRIPTION

Rocche Costamagna Barolo is a red wine produced by the historic Rocche Costamagna winery in Piedmont, Italy. Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Barolo DOCG appellation, the wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels. The result is a complex and structured wine with notes of dark fruit, leather, and spice, balanced by a firm tannic structure. The vineyards are located in the prestigious La Morra and Castiglione Falletto areas, characterized by sandy and clayey soils that contribute to the wine's unique terroir-driven characteristics. The Rocche Costamagna Barolo is an elegant and classic example of this renowned Italian wine style.
