Description
What kind of wine it is
The Langhe Arneis Rocche Costamagna is a still white wine with controlled designation of origin from Piedmont, vinified and matured in steel, which purely expresses the characteristics of the Arneis grape variety. To the eye, it appears straw yellow with greenish highlights, introducing a fresh and fruity bouquet where notes of pear, citrus and tropical fruit stand out, accompanied by hints of wildflowers and a delicate touch of almond. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious structure supported by a lively acidity, leading to a clean finish enriched by a pleasant chamomile aftertaste.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the Langhe area, in the municipality of La Morra. The calcareous-clay soils of the area give the wine a solid structure and a subtle mineral vein, ensuring a taut and linear sip. The continental climate, characterised by cool nights, is essential for preserving the fragrance of the fruit and encouraging the development of a pronounced aromatic intensity. The management of the vineyards reflects the meticulous approach of Rocche Costamagna, a historic Piedmontese estate that has remained family-run since 1841.
How it is produced
The production process begins in mid-September with the manual harvest. In the winery, gentle pressing and static decantation of the must precede fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperature for about two weeks, in order to preserve the primary aromas of the grape. This is followed by ageing on the lees for at least three or four months, which enriches the texture while respecting the identity of the Arneis. A final rest of two months ensures the achievement of the final balance, offering a wine with a clear and lively drinkability.
History and Curiosities
Founded in La Morra in 1841, Rocche Costamagna has been run by the same family for six generations. In the evocative cellars dating back to the Napoleonic era, the Langhe Arneis DOC comes to life, an authentic expression of the Langhe region. Produced from pure grapes grown on fifteen hectares and hand-harvested in mid-September, this wine celebrates a centuries-old heritage. Each bottle blends deep historical roots with contemporary dynamism, bearing witness to a constant commitment to sustainability and the protection of its land of origin.
