A classic and elegant Barolo from La Morra – perfect for mature cheeses, game, and powerful Italian dishes with finesse and structure.
Grapes and Vinification
This 2022 Barolo del Comune di La Morra from Rocche Costamagna is made from 100% Nebbiolo from carefully selected parcels in La Morra. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation with long maceration to develop complexity, aroma, and structure. Subsequently, the wine is aged in large oak barrels and small barriques, which provides depth and an elegant tannin structure.
