Description
What kind of wine it is
The Langhe Rosato by Rocche Costamagna is an elegant still rosé wine, an authentic expression of Piedmont, produced entirely from Nebbiolo grapes under the prestigious Langhe denomination. In the glass, it stands out for its fresh and approachable style, favouring aromatic clarity and a vibrant freshness. On the nose, it reveals delicate floral notes and hints of red fruit, while on the palate, it is smooth, savoury and endowed with a pleasant minerality. Vinification in stainless steel preserves the fragrance of the fruit intact, offering an agile, clean sip of extreme finesse.
Where it comes from
The grapes for this rosé ripen in the famous municipality of La Morra, located in the heart of the Langhe in Piedmont. This area, renowned for its strong winemaking tradition, benefits from a continental climate characterised by cool nights, an ideal condition for best preserving the primary aromas of the grapes. The vineyards, rooted in limestone and clay soils (sometimes sandy), give the wine structure and a distinct mineral character. The historic Rocche Costamagna estate, founded in 1841 and featuring Napoleonic-era cellars, bears witness to a deep and centuries-old bond with this extraordinary territory.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a meticulous manual harvest of the grapes. The bunches undergo soft pressing, preceded by a brief skin contact of a few hours, essential for extracting the characteristic and subtle pink hue. Subsequently, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (around 16°C) for about three weeks. This is followed by careful ageing, also in stainless steel on the fine lees (sur lie) for at least three months. This production method, completed by further resting in the bottle, ensures the wine is clean-drinking, preserving its agility and original purity.
History and curiosities
Founded in 1841 in La Morra, the Rocche Costamagna winery combines tradition, dynamism and sustainability. The prestige of the estate echoes in the evocative Napoleonic-era cellars, carefully restored, which bear witness to a centuries-old link with the Langhe area. Under the guidance of oenologist Alessandro Locatelli, the company makes the most of its fifteen hectares to create productions of absolute excellence. This estate passes down an authentic oenological history over time, faithfully preserving its roots and an invaluable Piedmontese heritage.
