Barolo Rocche Annunziata DOCG: How is it produced

Azienda Agricola Rocche Costamagna, Piedmont

This winery, now run by Alessandro Locatelli, represents one of the historic realities of the Langhe, particularly in the municipality of La Morra, with about 170 years of history. Since 1841, it has been producing and trading typical wines of the region. Mrs. Claudia Ferraresi, mother of Alessandro and granddaughter of the Costamagna family, took over the winery in the late 1960s. 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 Nebbioli, Dolcetti, and Barbere great finesse and expressiveness. The Nebbiolo delle Langhe is the king of Italian grape varieties, and the two types currently cultivated are Lampia and Michét. The training system is always Guyot. There are 14 owned vineyards, 6 of which are located in the legendary subzone of Annunziata. The company is assisted 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 instituted 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 major events promoted is the Enogastronomic and Territorial Book Fair, held every May, involving the most important realities in the field of publishing related to the taste and culture of the territory. The association has established “I Ristoranti delle Tavolozza,” a coalition for in-depth study and exchange among the most significant Italian and international food and wine areas.
