Dolcetto d'Alba DOC Rocche Costamagna 750ml

This winery, now run by Alessandro Locatelli, represents one of the historical realities of the Langhe. In particular, of the municipality of La Morra, with about 170 years of history. Since 1841, it has been producing and trading typical wines of the area. Mrs. Claudia Ferraresi, Alessandro's mother and granddaughter of the Costamagna family, took it over at the end of the 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 offers great finesse and expressiveness to the Nebbiolos, Dolcettos, and Barberas. Nebbiolo from the Langhe is the king of Italian grape varieties, and the two types currently cultivated are Lampia and Michèt. The training system is always Guyot. The owned vineyards are 14, and of these, 6 are located in the mythical sub-zone of Annunziata. The company is supported by two superstars of the Piedmontese lands, agronomist Gian Piero Romana and oenologist 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 taken care of the library and the room with ancient tools. Since 1976, she has established the "Ciao d'la Ca," an award from the association 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 May and involves the most important entities in the field of publishing related to taste and the culture of the area. The association has established “I Ristoranti delle Tavolozza,” a consortium for in-depth exploration and exchange between the most significant Italian and international food and wine regions.
