Langhe Arneis Rocche Costamagna 750ml

This winery, now run by Alessandro Locatelli, represents one of the historic realities of the Langhe. In particular, from the municipality of La Morra, with about 170 years of history. Since 1841, it has been producing and trading typical wines of the territory. Mrs. Claudia Ferraresi, Alessandro's mother and granddaughter of the Costamagna, took it over in the late sixties. The company retains the most prized vineyards such as Rocche dell'Annunziata, Nassone, Pisotta, and Verduno. These are unique lands with an extraordinary mineral gradient that provides Nebbiolos, Dolcettos, and Barberas with great finesse and expressiveness. The Nebbiolo of the Langhe is the king of Italian grape varieties, and the two types grown today are the Lampia and Michèt. The training system is always the Guyot. There are 14 owned vineyards, 6 of which are located in the mythical subzone of Annunziata. The winery is assisted by two superstars of the Piedmontese lands, agronomist Gian Piero Romana and winemaker Giuseppe Caviola. The winery is located in the center of La Morra and also has a series of very charming rooms in a B&B. Claudia Ferraresi, a painter, journalist, and art critic, as well as a Woman of Wine, has created a Cultural Association called Ca Dj'Amis, which has curated the library and the room with ancient tools. Since 1976, she has established the “Ciao d'la Ca,” an award from the association given to individuals who, through their commitment, have enhanced the environment, traditions, identity, and roots of humanity. Among the main events promoted is the Salone del Libro Enogastronomico e di Territorio, which takes place every year in May and involves the most important entities in the field of publishing related to the taste and culture of the territory. The association has established “I Ristoranti delle Tavolozza,” a fellowship for in-depth exploration and exchange between the most significant Italian and international food and wine areas.
