Origins and Meaning: The name “Montefico” originates from the Piedmontese dialect, which in ancient times designated vineyard plots. Located northwest of Barbaresco’s vineyard area, Montefico is one of the region’s historic vineyards. The marly limestone soils, rich in active limestone, give the wine a unique complexity.
Production Process: The triangular-shaped plot is located exactly halfway up the hill, in the central part of the amphitheater facing the village of Neive. Purchased by the Roagna family in 1929, the vines for this wine are at least 50 years old, representing the old vines of the region. Harvesting is done manually in October, in one morning, when the grapes reach perfect physiological ripeness. Before vinification, the grapes undergo two manual selections to ensure their integrity. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats with indigenous yeasts and lasts for about ten days. Next, the ancient maceration technique of submerged cap splinting is applied, which lasts for at least 2 1/2 months (70-90 days). The wine then matures in neutral oak barrels for about 5 years, allowing the development of complexity and character.
Notes Characteristics: Bottle production is limited to about a thousand per vintage, a testament to the attention to detail and quality that characterizes the work of the Roagna family. Each bottle is numbered, thus offering excellent traceability and authenticity.
