Roero Rosso Riserva 'Mompissano' Cascina Ca' Rossa 2021

The Roero Rosso Riserva ‘Mompissano’ is one of the most representative labels of the Piedmontese wine reality Cascina Ca’ Rossa, an authentic and articulated expression of the Geographical Mention of Mompissano. This MGA, located within the municipality of Canale, where the Cascina Ca’ Rossa winery is based, is characterized by a lower percentage of sand and a greater component of white soil and marl, which are the basis for the important structure and complexity of the Roero ‘Mompissano’. The vineyard is wisely interpreted by Angelo Ferrio, a winemaker from another time who lovingly takes care of his vines, producing wines of rare elegance and typicity, capable of telling the essence of the Roero territory.

Cascina Ca’ Rossa Roero Rosso ‘Mompissano’ is a 100% Nebbiolo from vines planted in calcareous-clay soils, with a low sandy percentage, in the Mompissano vineyard. Here, the rows benefit from organic farming, exposure to the southwest, and an altitude ranging from 300 to 350 meters above sea level. Towards mid-October, manual harvesting of the bunches takes place, which are then pressed in stainless steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation in contact with the skins. The aging phase occurs in large Slavonian oak barrels and lasts for 24-30 months before the further resting between steel and bottle that precedes the final bottling.

In the glass, the Roero Rosso Riserva ‘Mompissano’ by Cascina Ca’ Rossa reveals an intense ruby cloak with a garnet rim. The nose unfolds with aromas of wild strawberries, cherry, dog rose, and violet, enriched by deep spicy and mineral hints. On the palate, it shows balance, breadth, and great body, with a decisive fresh-salty push and elegant tannic texture that come together in a long-lasting finale.
