Ciabot Berton - Rocchettevino | Barolo DOCG
Red wine | Italy, PIEMONTE | 2018
A perfect balance of balsamic and mineral
qualities paints the personality of Barolo
Rocchettevino, an austere and refined
expression of Nebbiolo. Brilliant garnet red colour, pleasantly spicy nose with notes of
mountain herbs, balsamic nuances and slight fruity scents. The palate is
clear, mineral, decidedly crisp and persistent.

Finally, the wine is aged in concrete vats before being bottled.

About Ciabot Berton
The winery now in use was built in the 1980s on the site which has always been known as Ciabot Berton. The small building (ciabot, in Piedmont dialect) which stands here once belonged to a certain Berton, who had attempted to set up manufacturing fireworks here, and had burnt out the building and destroyed its roof. This old ruin, which gave its name to the business, can still be seen from the winery, and is surrounded by the Nebbiolo vineyard. The new winery is therefore sited in a dominant position, where it enjoys views of the wonderful landscape which opens out over the hills of Barolo. On clear days, gazing towards the north, the peaks of Cervino and the mass of Monte Rosa stand out, while in the opposite direction the villages of the Alta Langa form a hinge between Piedmont and Liguria.
