Why shop with us?
Rocche Costamagna Barbera d'Alba Superiore Rocche delle Rocche 2024 is a characterful Barbera from the heart of La Morra, crafted to show both depth and finesse. Made entirely from Barbera and shaped by a long family tradition dating back to 1841, it combines vibrant freshness, structure, and a distinctly Piedmontese sense of place.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red color with cardinal highlights. The nose is layered and inviting, with ripe cherry, dark cherry, and blackberry, lifted by subtle notes of fresh earth, rosewood, and cocoa.
The palate is full and enveloping, with bright acidity and silky tannins giving the wine real energy and definition. Its structured, balanced profile leads to a long finish with delicate almond notes, and it has the concentration and shape to age gracefully in bottle.
Production
The wine comes from vineyards in La Morra within the Barbera d'Alba area, where calcareous clay soils lend freshness, structure, and aromatic precision. Rocche Costamagna works with low yields and high planting density to encourage concentrated, healthy fruit that reflects the local terroir.
Harvested in late September, the grapes undergo about a week of skin maceration at controlled temperature to maximize color and tannin extraction. The wine then matures for 12 months in French oak barrels before further bottle aging to refine balance and complexity.
Food & Serving
Serve at 18-20°C, ideally after about an hour of decanting. It pairs beautifully with red meats, game, and mature cheeses, and also works well with rich risottos and hearty Piedmontese first courses.
Producer
Rocche Costamagna is a historic La Morra estate founded in 1841 and now guided by six generations of winemaking tradition. With around fifteen hectares of calcareous clay vineyards and a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture, the winery is recognized for producing authentic Piedmont wines that express both regional heritage and consistent quality.
