In the silence of the countryside filled with voices, perfumes and images from the past which belong to the heritage of every man, immersed among the vines producing the generous Barbaresco, lives Cascina delle Rose: small farm house built by an ancient farmer over 100 years ago. Walls made of solid stones, two wells for water, the stable, the hay loft, the wood shed, the wheat barn, a cool cellar and a yard protected from the wind. A few rooms for the guests and the most breathtaking, colorful scenery for meditation: the Rio Sordo valley with its small train station, the neat vineyards on the hillside. In the background a string of majestic castles from La Morra to Asti. On the horizon the Alps from the Monviso to the Monte Rosa.

Maybe that ancient farmer already knew that one day his small abode was going to wake up right in the middle of the most well known and appreciated territory of this region.

The soil is characterized by layers of compact bluish limestone mars. The stratification is dense and varied, rich in minerals and natural springs.

Cascina delle Rose 2008 'Rio Sordo' Barbaresco DOCG
Rating: 90

The 2008 Barbaresco Rio Sordo is a bit more forward than the Tre Stelle. It is a precise, delicate wine laced with sweet red cherries, leather, menthol and licorice, all of which come together nicely on a medium-bodied, perfumed frame. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016

Cascina delle Rose 2008 'Tre Stelle' Barbaresco DOCG
Rating: 93

The 2008 Barbaresco Tre Stelle is one of the finest wines I have ever tasted from Cascina delle Rose. Everything is simply in the right place. Dark cherries, flowers, leather and licorice are some of the nuances that flow from the glass. This is a surprisingly enveloping, generous style for the estate, but everything works. The round, engaging finish adds the final layer of complexity. The Tre Stelle is pure harmony from start to finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023. Cascina delle Rose is a tiny property located in the Rio Sordo section of Barbaresco. Proprietor Giovanna Rizzolio crafts delicate, traditional Barbareschi that at their best are highly appealing
