Barbera d'Alba DOC Annunziata 750ml: How is it produced

Azienda Agricola Rocche Costamagna, Piedmont

This winery, now run by Alessandro Locatelli, represents one of the historic realities of the Langhe. Specifically, from the municipality of La Morra, with about 170 years of history. Since 1841, it has been producing and trading typical wines of the region. Mrs. Claudia Ferraresi, mother of Alessandro and granddaughter of the Costamagna family, took over the company at the end of the 1960s. The company retains the most prized vineyards such as Rocche dell'Annunziata, Nassone, Pisotta, and Verduno. These are unique lands with an extraordinary mineral gradient that offers great finesse and expressiveness to the Nebbioli, Dolcetti, and Barbera wines. The Nebbiolo of the Langhe is the king of Italian grape varieties, and the two types currently cultivated are Lampia and Michèt. The training system used is always the guyot. The owned vineyards are 14, and of these, 6 are located in the legendary subzone of Annunziata. The company is assisted by two superstars of the Piedmontese lands, agronomist Gian Piero Romana and winemaker Giuseppe Caviola. The winery is located in the center of La Morra and also has a series of very charming rooms for B&B. Claudia Ferraresi, a painter, journalist, and art critic, as well as a Woman of Wine, has created a Cultural Association called Ca Dj'Amis, which has taken care of the library and the room with ancient tools. Since 1976, she has established the “Ciao d'la Ca,” an award from the association to individuals who, through their commitment, have enhanced the environment, traditions, identity, and roots of humanity. Among the main events promoted is the Salone del Libro Enogastronomico e di Territorio, which takes place every May and involves the most important realities in the field of publishing related to taste and the culture of the territory. The association has established “I Ristoranti delle Tavolozza,” a fellowship for in-depth study and exchange between the most significant Italian and international food and wine areas.
