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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\n\nOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cascina Ghercina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54462730862929,"sku":"VDZ-10570075078992-53331336724816","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/gher03014_1_11.jpg?v=1785498393","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/cascina-ghercina-langhe-rosso-dedicato-2022","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
