Rovellotti is a true Alto-Piemonte estate rooted in Ghemme since the 15th century, preserving a local tradition of Nebbiolo and Vespolina viticulture. Their Chioso dei Pomi bottling is sourced from a south-southwest–facing vineyard in the heart of the Barragiola subzone, blending 85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina.

The 2016 vintage saw separate fermentations in stainless steel tanks with 10–20 days maceration and frequent remontage, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrel. The wine matured 12 months in large Slavonian oak casks, then extended élevage for 18 months in smaller barrels. It reveals dusty tannins, energetic red fruit, tobacco, tar, dried rose, and mineral grip. Built to evolve gracefully over a decade. A benchmark Ghemme of terroir and lineage.

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

The “Chioso dei Pomi” vineyard is in the heart of Barragiola, 3 hectares in size with a south-southwest exposure. The ultimate blend of grapes for the Ghemme is 85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina. The grapes are fermented separately in stainless steel cuves and the fermentation extends for a minimum of ten days with frequent “remontage”. The malolactic fermentation occurs mostly in barrel. The wine is aged in Slavonian oak casks for the first twelve months and then is racked into smaller five hectoliter barrels for an additional eighteen months. The various parts of the wine are assembled and blended together in the spring of the third year.
