CA ROME Romano Marengo Vigna Cerretta, Barolo
Ca' Rome' Romano Marengo Vigna Cerretta Barolo The Vigna Cerretta Barolo is intense garnet red in the glass. The nose shows rich fruit, licorice, rose and violet with light toasty notes. The palate is full and dry with soft, velvety abundant tannins. The fruit for the Vigna Cerretta is sourced from the Cerretta vineyard located in Serralunga dAlba. The Helvetian soil is rich in very compact blue marl and sits at an altitude of 310-371 metres above sea level. Maceration lasts 20 days using a traditional method of maceration called steccatura at a temperature that never exceeds 30°C. This method involves wedging stocks into the vat to hold the cap (grape skins and pulp) down below the surface of the juice. This slow, gentle extractraction coaxes the signature tannins from the Nebbiolo grape skins. Aged for 24 months in 25 hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels with a portion of it part aged in barrique. The wine is further aged in-bottle for at least 12 months.
