Vintage Wine Name Barbaresco Rio Sordo DOCG 2019 Vintage 2019 Wine Description Made from the "sunny side" of the Rio Sordo cru, the estate vineyard is planted with a density of 5,000 vines per hectare. The wine's bouquet is floral, spiced and complex, and leads into a silky, structured palate. Region Piedmont Appellation Barbaresco Varietal Composition 100% Nebbiolo Vineyard Details The Rio Sordo vineyard is located in the Barbaresco municipality. Soils – called “White marl of Saint Agatha” – in this vineyard go back to the Tortonian-Messinian period. Rich in elements like manganese, zinc and boron, with fine particles that tend to form easily erodible laminae (silty marl). Tasting notes Intense garnet red with dark ruby reflections. Complex nose with aromas of licorice and forest berries, cinnamon, cloves and violet. Full, enveloping tannins with a long finish, recalling ripe fruit. Pairing notes Because of its structure and body, it pairs well with meat, game and cheese. Alcohol % 14 Aging Aged 24 months in a mix of 25 hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels and French barriques, followed by 10 months aging in bottle before release. SRP 93 Highest Score 94, Wine Advocate Highest Score Review Copy The Ca’ Rome’ 2019 Barbaresco Rio Sordo shows immediate spice and a savory side with cinnamon and crushed pepper folded into black fruit and plum. This vintage shows extra intensity and a direct delivery of aromas over a mid-weight mouthfeel. There is good clarity too, thanks to fresh acidity and the wine's firm tannins.

It was founded by Romano Marengo in 1980 after a 30-year career in the wine industry, during which he dreamed of making his own terroir-driver wines. Today it is run by Romano’s children, Winemaker Giuseppe Marengo and Director of Operations, Paola Marengo. The Cà Romé philosophy is reflected in the name: Cà is short for casa, which means “home” and refers to Romano’s home and a winery that is run by a family, not a corporation.
