Barolo Riserva Rocchette, Lorenzo Accomasso - 2009

Viticulture

This cuvée originated from the Lorenzo Accomasso estate, located in La Morra in Piedmont. The vineyard’s terroir was mainly composed of clay. The work carried out in the vines was manual and traditional, free from unnecessary intervention.

Oenology

Vinification was performed with indigenous yeasts, and the winemaker opted for minimal sulphur additions.Faithful to his philosophy, Lorenzo waited far longer than most producers to release his wines, letting them mature according to the rhythms of nature and his own intuition rather than the demands of the market. In keeping with this approach, handling was reduced to a minimum, with no filtration or temperature control of the grapes allowed. Details surrounding the production of this Vigneto Rocchette cuvée remained highly confidential.
