Barbaresco Rongalio® Docg
Produced only in the best vintages, from the oldest and most precious vineyard of the Meruzzano region, between 35 and 40 years old. The soil is very rich in micro-elements such as iron and zinc and is often furrowed with veins of silt and clay, which give the wine a strong personality and a strong tendency to age. Since the 2011 vintage, Rongalio Barbaresco has been sold as Riserva.
