Why you should drink it

Because the Ronchi farm has always been rooted in the Barbaresco area and is well aware of the value of hillside viticulture .

How to drink it

If you can't drink it immediately , no problem: this wine , if stored lying down, in the dark and away from vibrations and sudden changes in temperature , gives its best up to 10 years after harvest .

Vinification and Aging

Bottling in spring is followed by an adequate refinement in the bottle , which varies from wine to wine .
