Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
Rolona comes from hillside vineyards in the municipality of Gavi. The wine is shaped around balance, freshness and ease of drinking. Yield is 2.5 kg per vine, equivalent to 95 q/ha, and harvest runs from 6 to 14 September.
Grapes
100% Cortese.
Vinification
The grapes are transferred immediately to the cellar and softly pressed to retain the finest part of the juice. Fermentation proceeds slowly at a controlled 18–20°C and can last up to 20 days.
Ageing
Bottling takes place in February or March, allowing a short period of bottle maturation before release. The wine is already enjoyable in the spring following harvest and reaches a more complete expression after several additional months in bottle.
Technical data
Total acidity: 5.1 g/L. The wine page reports 12% vol. alcohol, while the technical sheet reports 12.5% vol.
Tasting profile
The fresh, persistent bouquet combines pear, green apple, dried hay, citron and a distinct earthy minerality. The palate is elegant and persistent, with lively acidity reinforcing its classic Gavi profile and savoury character.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 10°C in tulip-shaped glasses.
Ageing potential
Rolona can remain in bottle for several years without losing quality.
