Summary
Cascina delle Rose is one of the top Barbaresco producers. The estate is owned and operated by wife and husband- Giovanna Rizzolio and Italo Sobrino and their two sons, Riccardo and Davide. It has been a family run business since 1948, but they only bottled and sold under the Casina delle Rose label after Giovanna took over in 1992.
It’s a very small estate that consists of only 3 hectares in the Rio Sordo area of Barbaresco. Their small production focuses on Barbaresco from both the clay soils from the Rio Sordo vineyard, and the calcareous soils of the Tre Stelle vineyard. The family also grow and produce a bit of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera.
The steep hillside vineyards are all worked by hand; grapes are harvested, de-stemmed, and fermented with natural yeasts. They are then aged for 20-22 months in large botti - mostly Slavonian with a few Swiss casks they purchased in 2016. Cascina Delle Rose wines show the elegant and complex side of Barbaresco.
