The Piedmontese winery has received an excellent recognition for one of its wines.
Vinum Magazin für Weinkultur recently awarded a wine from the Piedmontese winery, Cascina Chicco: it gave 17.5 points to Roero Valmaggiore DOCG Riserva 2016.
Roero Valmaggiore Riserva Docg is a rich and decidedly satisfying wine. In this vineyard the harvest is carried out in two steps one week apart, towards the end of August-beginning of September. To protect the integrity of the grapes in the best possible way up to crushing, perforated boxes are used. Maceration takes place in steel fermenters, in which the fermentation temperature can be adjusted, and lasts about a week. Subsequently the wine rests in carats, in which malolactic fermentation takes place, for 16 months, before being assembled again in steel tanks. It is bottled in August and put on the market, after a year in the bottle, three years after the harvest.
Roero has a rich and immediate scent with hints of violet, raspberry and blackberry, enriched by elegant spicy touches. On the palate it offers a crescendo of sensations of violet and cocoa up to the powerful and austere meeting of tannins that prolongs the whole of the sensations in a persistent finish.
