“This fourth generation vine-growing family lives, literally, in the ‘Ronchi’ vineyard—with older vines that wind around the family home and cellars. Thispetite valley, close to Neive, is charmed: bordered by cru ‘Montestefano’to the north and ‘Moccagatta’ to the south, it is shaped like a perfectamphitheater, capturing the sun and giving Nebbiolo both theconcentration and ripe elegance that is the hallmark of fine Barbaresco.
The ‘Ronchi’ vineyard, at 960 feet above sea level and facingsoutheast, runs along the eastern edge of the appellation; the land forms anatural amphitheater. This cru wine is a combination of fruit from ‘Ronchi’and other estate vineyards. Soils are a classic mix of clay and limestone.
Fermentation on indigenous yeasts intemperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Aged for two years in large(20HL) Slavonian casks (‘botti’).” – NORTH BERKELEY IMPORTS
