Poderi Colla Barbaresco Roncaglie
Tenuta Roncaglia has always been recognised as one of the most prestigious and important Barbaresco production areas (also mentioned by Lorenzo Fantini in his book "Monograph on Viticulture and Oenology in the Province of Cuneo"1880). Alessandro Masnaghetti writes in his “Map of Barbaresco Cru, 1994: "...the position of Roncaglie, together with Roncagliette, is one of the best we can see on the side of the hill that begins at Roccalini and rises towards Treiso...". And Daniel Thomases, in the Wine Spectator of January 1995: "Roncaglie is recognised as one of the best locations in the entire Barbaresco area".
Tasting notes:
Deep garnet red, exuberant and complex aromas of blackberries, spices, brush, rosehip and violet. A "classic" Barbaresco with the elegance of a Roncaglie cru: rich, enveloping and intense in the mouth. Personality and pleasantness with a long finish of velvety tannins, and great ageing potential. It is a great wine for any part of the meal, which goes well with red meats and feathered game.
