What kind of wine is Roero DOCG 'Audinaggio' 2021 - Cascina Ca' Rossa?

Roero DOCG 'Audinaggio' 2021 - Cascina Ca' Rossa is a Piedmontese red wine made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in Vezza d’Alba, in the heart of the Roero appellation. The sandy soils of this area give the wine elegance, intense aromas, and a natural freshness that distinguishes it from Nebbiolo wines produced in neighboring areas. It is a full-bodied red wine with excellent harmony, capable of best expressing the authentic character of the territory.

Vintage Details

The 2021 vintage is considered one of the most balanced in recent years: a regular climatic trend allowed for slow and complete ripening of the grapes. Temperature excursions between day and night favored the formation of complex aromas and a fine but present tannic structure. The result is a wine that combines freshness, aromatic depth, and great drinkability.

Vinification and Aging

After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo traditional fermentation with a maceration of about three weeks, during which the must remains in contact with the skins to extract color, aromas, and tannins. The wine then ages for 18 months in barriques, small wooden barrels that soften the structure and complete its evolution, giving it balance and roundness. Before being released to the market, Roero DOCG 'Audinaggio' 2021 rests further in the bottle for a few months to reach its full expressiveness.
