NEBBIOLO D'ALBA ROCCHERI D.O.C. 2022

Ruby red in colour with garnet edges. The nose reveals sweet notes of wild berry preserve accompanied by aromas of wild violet. The palate is intense, structured and beautifully balanced, with spicy hints of cinnamon and nutmeg and smooth, appealing tannins.

Designation: Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC

Grape variety: 100% Nebbiolo

Production area: Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont

Training system: vertical trellising with Guyot pruning

Harvest: picked by hand into crates

Vinification: selective destemming and gentle crushing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks. Maceration is encouraged through repeated gentle pump-overs over the cap, allowing tannins and colour to be extracted gradually and selectively. The skins are separated only when extraction has reached its optimum level

Ageing: the wine is racked into vitrified concrete vats and maintained at a post-fermentation temperature of approximately 22°C, allowing malolactic fermentation to begin and finish spontaneously within a short period. It is then aged for approximately 12 months in 30 hl Slavonian oak casks, completing its development, refining its harmony and broadening the complexity of its bouquet

Alcohol content: 14% – Contains sulphites

Serving temperature: 18°C

Available size

Perfect pairing
Italiamy recommends pairing Roccheri Nebbiolo d’Alba with yellow polenta and slow-cooked pork cheek, a combination that enhances the wine’s structure and depth.
