Description

Made from Barbera grapes. The Barbera grape is one of Piedmont's most widespread indigenous grape varieties, and this Valmorena is the company's most authentic and traditional interpretation of such variety. Thanks to the vinification and ageing carried out in steel and partially in large casks, Valmorena preserves all the natural freshness and fruity varietal aromas while offering depth and persistence.

It is the 11th century and the Incisa family settles in the Monferrato area of Piedmont, in the North of Italy. Fast forward another two centuries and monks lease land from the Incisa Estate to cultivate wines in an area of Rocchetta Tanaro called St. Emiliano.

Fast forward another six centuries and the Marchese Leopoldo Incisa della Rocchetta becomes an eminence in viticulture and wine making. He is particularly well known for having experimented for the first time in Piedmont with some Pinot Noir vines. Fast forward another century and the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta leaves Piedmont to settle with his new bride in Bolgheri, Tuscany. He brings with him the family knowledge and love of wines to create the great Sassicaia. In Piedmont, the historic Incisa Estate is now run by his brother Oddone and some of his sons.
