2022 Cascina delle Rose, Barbaresco, Rio Sordo

The 2022 Cascina delle Rose Barbaresco Rio Sordo offers a compelling expression of 100% Nebbiolo from Piedmont's esteemed Barbaresco DOCG. Situated in the renowned Rio Sordo Valley, the estate’s organic, artisanal philosophy champions minimal intervention and traditional winemaking, including long macerations and aging in large Slavonian oak barrels. The 2022 growing season in Piedmont was notably warm and dry, among the hottest and driest on record, contributing to naturally concentrated fruit. Despite these challenging conditions, meticulous vineyard management yielded a wine that presents surprising balance, vibrant acidity, and immediate charm. This bottling distinctly reflects Cascina delle Rose’s commitment to purity and terroir, embodying the characteristic broader, fuller body of the Rio Sordo cru.
