Cascina Ghercina, Langhe Rosso Dedicato 2022

Cascina Ghercina’s Langhe Rosso Dedicato 2022 is an expressive Piedmontese red, combining generous dark-fruit character with a polished, softly structured palate. Aged for 12 months in French oak barriques, it offers an appealing balance of richness, spice and silky tannins. Cascina Ghercina has been dedicated to estate-grown grapes and quality-focused winemaking since its foundation in 1871.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows an intense ruby-red colour. Its nose is rich and fruit-forward, with aromas of small dark berries complemented by warming spices and subtle vanilla from the oak ageing. On the palate, it is lush and well balanced, with a rounded texture, soft sweet tannins and a long, silky finish. It is approachable in its youth, while the fruit, oak and structure should allow it to develop gracefully over the next few years when stored in suitable conditions.

Production
The grapes come from Cascina Ghercina’s vineyards in the Langhe and surrounding Piedmontese areas. The estate also farms sites in Alba, Roero, Asti, Monferrato and Gavi, including southwest-facing vineyards in the Barolo area at around 360 metres above sea level, where the nearby Ghercina stream contributes to a distinctive local microclimate. The grapes are destemmed and crushed before fermenting at controlled temperatures in stainless-steel tanks. An eight-day maceration on the skins, with daily pump-overs, extracts colour and flavour. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in French oak barriques before further refinement in bottle.

Food & Serving
A versatile choice for hearty Italian dishes, this Langhe Rosso pairs particularly well with carbonara, red meat, grilled meats and other richly flavoured preparations. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential, but 20–30 minutes in a decanter can help open the wine’s dark-fruit and spice aromas, especially when enjoyed young.

Producer
Founded in 1871, Cascina Ghercina has remained guided by a clear commitment to estate-grown fruit and quality across generations. The family expanded its holdings in 2002 with eight hectares of vineyards on the southwest-facing slopes of the Barolo area and built a partly underground 5,000-square-metre cellar, increasing storage capacity to more than 15,000 hectolitres. With vineyards across several of Piedmont’s renowned appellations, the estate represents the region’s broad diversity while maintaining a strong focus on careful, modern production.
