A intriguing version of Cortese coming from a very young and interesting winery situated in Carpeneto amidst the alto Monferrato hills, on a small plateau gentle shaped by small valleys at 270 mt above sea level. The vineyards that gives life to the Cortese of Rocco di Carpeneto were implanted between 1970 and 1982 by Guyot growing system. Ròo is a Piemonte DOC "Cortese" exclusively obtained from cortese grapes hand-picked. it is vinified in steel tanks, after a pre-fermentative maceration using native yeasts only. Agening is done in steel stainless tanks and acacia tonneaux. (8 months at least)
Vigorous and fresh wine with an energy that refreshes. Its chalky notes and citrus zest, do not trivialize it and do not compromise with softness. Very crisp also the fruit, far more pulpy in this vintage, which gives balance of flavor and depth.
