Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti Roagna is an incredible red wine, fruit of one of the most important and suitable vineyards.
Montefico is one of the historic vineyards of the Barbaresco village. Located in the North West of the vineyard area of the town, Montefico has marly calcareous soils with a good quantity of active limestone. The plot with which the Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti of the Roagna family is produced is triangular in shape (0.24 hectares) and is located exactly halfway up the hill in the central part of the amphitheater facing the village of Neive.
The plants used for this Barbaresco Montefico "Vecchie Viti" wine have a minimum age of over 50 years, exclusively of massal origin with woods obtained by pruning from the same vineyard.
The manual harvest takes place in October, usually in the morning, when perfectly ripe. Fermentation takes place exclusively in wooden vats. Subsequently, the ancient submerged cap maceration technique is applied, which lasts for at least 2 and a half months (70-90 days). The Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti Roagna then matures in a neutral oak barrel for about 5 years.
