Tenuta Rocca - Barolo DOCG - Serralunga d'Alba - Cru Baudana - 2020

Beautiful Cru Baudana Barolo from Serralunga organic

Ruby red wine with garnet reflections. In the nose delicate aromas of rosehip, ripe red fruit, cranberry, berries, eucalyptus and liquorice. In the mouth the wine is beautifully structured, intense yet delicate, fresh fruity acids, beautifully structured and well integrated tannins, tending towards sweet in the long lasting aftertaste.

The grapes come from the Baudana vineyard (1.84 ha) located in Serralunga. The vineyard is located at an altitude of around 320 meters with a south-eastern exposure. The soil type is mainly calcareous marl.

The grapes are picked by hand between the end of September and the end of October after careful selection. The grapes are then gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in 50 HL oak barrels, under controlled temperatures. The wine matures for a period of 30 months in large 30 HL oak barrels. The wine is then bottled. The wine is refined in the bottle for at least 10 months before it is marketed.

About Tenuta Rocca:
The family and wine adventure of brothers Bruno and Gianni Ciravegna began in the eighties of the last century in the hamlet of Ornati, which is part of the municipality of Monforte d'Alba with a beautiful farmhouse from the 18th century, surrounded by vineyards like an amphitheatre. The company is now managed by Gianfranco Ciravegna, assisted by his son and daughter, the fourth generation. In total, the company has 20 hectares of vineyards. Since 2014, the company has been certified organic.
