Roero Rosso Riserva 'Mompissano' Cascina Ca' Rossa 2012

The Roero Riserva "Mompissano" by Cascina Ca' Rossa is a full soul of Angelo Ferrio; it was he, along with dad Alfonso, who in the 1960 gave birth to that in a very short time would become one of the oldest companies of the Roero. Here, where for centuries occurring trade and commerce between Savona, Turin and the Langhe, we have a wonderful version of Nebbiolo. A version of Nebbiolo that Cascina Ca’ Rossa produces with the organic certification: farewell to the chemistry and achieve a balance with nature; a job is not an easy one, but that gratifies the soul and gives immense satisfaction when it comes to producing wines of great intensity and personality, such as the Roero Riserva "Mompissano" by Cascina Ca' Rossa who was born in Canale d'Alba, on vineyards exposed to the southwest at 250-300 meters above sea level; here the soil is limestone and clay, and the harvest is done manually around the middle of October. The refinement is one of those important: 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels, then in stainless steel and then 4 months of stabilization in the bottle. It comes as a single character from the Roero, with a beautiful bouquet of elegance and persistence are the envy of other Piedmontese red wine.
