roccolo dei carpini
“Ma non soltanto amore, bacio bruciante e cuore bruciato,
tu sei, vino di vita, ma amicizia degli esseri, trasparenza,
coro di disciplina, abbondanza di fiori. Amo sulla tavola,
quando si conversa, la luce di una bottiglia di intelligente vino.”
(Pablo Neruda)

PRODUCTION 3000 bts
Roccolo dei Carpini is made only in unique vintages, usually every 6/8 years. The vineyard is named after my daughter Camilla, and has been conceived as a natural barrier between the bushes and the other vineyards. Cabernet Sauvignon has a slower maturation process, this keeps away the wild animals from the rest of the property, and at the same time, most likely would become their food for the fall.
Only in vintages blessed with a very long and hot summer which trespass into fall, the Cabernet could reach the extreme ripeness, essential condition to give birth to this wine.
From the first sip, the wine communicates its prominence, showing both its complexity and his elegance. An imponent fruitiness with a swirl of different fragrance from balsamic scent, leather, tobacco, almost it feels like being in the woods, perceiving a warm feeling from the surroundings. I like to open Roccolo dei Carpini to surprise friends, wine lovers and even my dear fellow winemakers.
Dark ruby red, intense and brilliant.
Floral and fruity: plum, blackberry, cherry, jam, tertiary hints of vanilla, cocoa, clove, and young leather.
Great structure, warm and mineral, salty, with a long aromatic persistence with subtle and velvety tannins.
Appetizers of cured meats, potato gnocchi with meat sauce, tortelli with cheeses, game, meat and vegetables on the spit.
Gnocchetti with nettles, chestnut flour ravioli with cocoa, eggplant and potato pie, peanut butter and fruit jelly.

Ogni anno che passa questo vino evolve tirando fuori elementi insospettabili. Di straordinaria freschezza, longevità da non credere, oggi è ricco di materia passando dai primari di frutta croccante alle confetture più evolute avvolte da un turbinio di sentori terziari mentolati, olii essenziali, bosco in autunno.. Per intenditori senza pregiudizi
