Red
Roncaglie
By Poderi Colla, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Barbaresco Roncaglie comes from one of the first and most historic crus of Barbaresco, on a south/south-west facing slope at 240-280m towards Treiso, long recognised as one of the best positions in the appellation.
Tasting notes
Deep garnet red, complex and rich aromas of blackberries, spices, undergrowth, dog rose and violets. A classic Barbaresco with the elegance of the Roncaglie cru: rich, enveloping and intense in the mouth, with a very long finish of smooth tannins and great ageing potential.
Pairs well with
Red meats and feathered game
