Vintage 2024
The year 2024 will be remembered as one of the rainiest in recent years. Following a mild winter with good water reserves, spring saw rapid vegetation growth. The rest of the season was characterized by abundant rainfall and balanced temperatures. The harvest took place in more traditional times and was interrupted by heavy rains, requiring special attention for the later-ripening grapes. Our harvest began on August 19 with Alta Langa and concluded on October 13 with Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo.

Winemaking Information
PRE-FERMENTATION PROCEDURES: Grape bunches are hand-sorted on a vibrating table and chilled with carbonic snow to avoid oxidation and reduce considerably the use of sulphur and softly pressed.
This process is “100% screw conveyor free” to handle grapes as gently as possible.
FERMENTATION PROCESS: A part of the must is chilled and kept in an inert environment (nitrogen). This step lasts for 12 to 15 hours at 8-10°C (cryomaceration). Then the fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature.
BOTTLE REFINEMENT: POGGIO DI CARO is refined only in bottle for about 3 months before realising.
The difference is...
POGGIO DI CARO is a faithful representation of the sandy soil of the Roero area. Crispy, fruity, and very enjoyable, it represents the younger side of the UNESCO area site of south Piemonte.
POGGIO DI CARO is a white wine with a gentle fascinating character.
