In the glass, it reveals a structured and elegant profile, characterised by a complex palate and a \u003cstrong\u003esolid tannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. Careful winemaking involves soft pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation, and prolonged maceration. Subsequent maturation in wood and a long final resting period give life to a precise Barbaresco, capable of combining fruit integrity with a clear \u003cstrong\u003epropensity for ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the Meruzzano geographical mention, within the historic \u003cstrong\u003eRongalio vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e located in the municipality of Treiso. The rows follow the natural slopes of the hill at three hundred metres above sea level, benefiting from a valuable \u003cstrong\u003esouth-west exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is crucial for the perfect ripening of the bunches. The medium-textured soil features a limestone matrix interspersed with veins of silt and clay. The presence of \u003cstrong\u003etrace elements such as iron and zinc\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the wine an unmistakable territorial identity and a rigorous structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is made\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction is based on low yields obtained from old Guyot-trained vines. After soft pressing, the grapes are vinified in separate batches based on the specific portion of the vineyard. Most of the must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentative maceration, while a selected portion continues with a \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged-cap maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e of over forty days—a fundamental technique to maximise polyphenolic extraction. The wine then matures for twenty-four months in \u003cstrong\u003elarge casks\u003c\/strong\u003e, completing its evolution with a long \u003cstrong\u003eageing period\u003c\/strong\u003e that stabilises its evolutionary potential.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the dedication of Giovanni Abrigo, Barbaresco Rongalio® comes to life in the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eMeruzzano Mention\u003c\/strong\u003e in Treiso.
