Vespolina plays the primary supporting role to the great Nebbiolo-based wines of the Alto Piemonte. Rovellotti’s Vespolina hails from is a 0.4 hectare plot in the Ronco al Maso vineyard, with full southern exposure in the commune of Ghemme. The grapes are harvested in the third week of September. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve the zesty, fresh, wild berry fruit of the grape, with an eight day maceration on the skins, giving the wine a fine and distinct tannic structure. The wine then spends three months in botti, and is bottled the spring following harvest. Enjoy with a light chill!
Antenello Rovellotti has proudly declared during our visits to his estate that of the less than 200 people in the world who carry my family name, 66 live in and around Ghemme. The truly Ghemmese Rovellotti family has inhabited this small fortified town since at least the late 15th century, keeping alive its long tradition of producing some of the Alto Piemonte’s most enchanting and profound wines. The family vinifies and ages its products in a mosaic of tiny underground cellars stacked high with decades-old botti, spread around Ghemme’s Ricetto, a 10th-century central walled compound that protected the townsfolk during times of strife and war. - Rosenthal Wine Merchants
