Description

Produced only in the best vintages from the oldest and most precious vineyard in the Meruzzano Mention, aged between 35 and 40 years. The soil is very rich in microelements such as iron and zinc and is often furrowed by veins of silt and clay, which give the wine a strong personality and a strong propensity for aging. Since the 2011 vintage, Rongalio barbaresco has been sold as a Riserva.
