Cascina Roccalini Barbaresco 2021

Grape: Nebbiolo
Vintage: 2021
Type: Red

The Cascina Roccalini Barbaresco 2021 is a refined and deeply authentic expression of Nebbiolo from the esteemed Roccalini cru, displaying a bright ruby hue with a captivating perfume of wild cherry, rose petals, violet, and a subtle undercurrent of earthy minerality. The palate is structured and poised, showcasing the 2021 vintage's finesse with fine-grained, assertive tannins beautifully balanced by high acidity and concentrated red fruit, promising excellent aging potential. True to the producer's traditionalist approach, the wine undergoes a slow, spontaneous fermentation in concrete with indigenous yeasts, featuring an extremely long maceration on the skins using the submerged cap method for approximately 60 days. Following this, the wine is aged for two years exclusively in large, neutral Slavonian oak casks before being bottled without fining or filtration.
