Tenuta Rocca Day – Monforte d’Alba (CN) – Visita in Cantina con gli Amici Gourmet

By ViaggiatoreGourmet | settembre 20, 2009

The Tenuta Rocca is situated on the hillside of Monforte d’Alba, Località Ornati, and is painstakingly cultivating the best vines for making great wines. The Estate was purchased in 1986 and it has always been known for producing red wines of great elegance and body. Its ideal climate and sun exposure is  positively influencing the maturing of the grapes. Our quality commitment has led this Company to become, along the years, synonymous with fine wines. To the vineyards planted with Chardonnay, Barbera, Dolcetto, Cabernet Sauvignon and Nebbiolo, we have added more recently one and a half hectars of Nebbiolo for the production of the Tenuta Rocca Barolo, reaching a total of eleven and a half hectars planted with vines. With the increase in production, an enormous investment both in the vineyards and in the cellar has been made: green harvests and selection of the grapes made by hand at the time of picking so that the maximum concentration is obtained and carried out along with the utmost care in the general management of the vineyard using biological methods. Modern equipments are used to give a hand to the human element, with a must: respecting the character of the wines.
