He inherited two prime hectares in La Morra in 2014, all in the Torriglione vineyard—a cru Barolo-heads know, even if they don’t. It’s blended into the crazy-good ‘Berri’ Barolo of Trediberri, was once labeled as a (v culty) Rocche dell'Annunziata parcel by Roberto Voerzio, and arguably the deepest cut of all, is on a handful of Bartolo Mascarello labels (as the hometown of his grandfather). This is hallowed ground he’s inherited, and it’s front and center in his tiny production. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom 2017 to 2020 Isacco sold his estate fruit to his neighbor Trediberri (who we love!). During that time he worked for Luigi Oddero, neighbor-and-legend Accomasso  - a producer as mythic as they are difficult to find (not imported to the US) -  and got his degree in viticulture \u0026amp; oenology from University of Turin. It was in 2021 that he turned his full attention to making his own wine, keeping the fruit for himself and launching the winery with a very, very special Langhe Nebbiolo. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2022 was only his second vintage of the Langhe Rosso, and his first to land stateside; the Rosato is a selection of this same fruit. Like the Rosso, this is wildly expressive Nebbiolo that can't help but be a serious wine despite being made simply in tank with short maceration. It has the natural texture and breadth you see from famously packed soils like those in Torriglione.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA bottle that once again has us patiently waiting for when he rolls his first Barolo out (in 2027) from the same site.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corkhoarder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53256379498861,"sku":"21667","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5327\/0827\/files\/2024CastrumRocheLangheRosato_Piedmont_Italy.jpg?v=1777145035","url":"https:\/\/leonandsonwine.com\/products\/2024-castrum-roche-langhe-rosato-piedmont-italy","provider":"Leon \u0026 Son Wine and Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
