Stroppiana Description

Our winery is situated in a small hamlet within the municipality of La Morra, Rivalta. This is where the 18th century church of San Giacomo once stood, and one of our three Barolo is named after the Saint. We cultivate a total of approximately 5.5 hectares of land, some of which is in the municipalities of Verduno and Monforte, part estate owned and the rest under rental agreements.

Notes from Stefania, the Mother - "I work alongside my husband. I come from a family of farmers and I too began accumulating my wealth of experience when I was just a little girl, having always helped my parents. After spending several years working as a nurse, thanks to which I met my husband, I decided to dedicate all my time to working with him in order to help consolidate and develop the Stroppiana estate. I was born in Monforte and this gave Dario the opportunity to produce Barolo in the Bussia cru, which is famous among those with a knowledge of Barolo. I’ll always be left wondering whether it was me or my vineyards that Dario fell in love with first?!" -- Stefania, the Mother

GRAPE VARIETY:  100% Barbera
ALTITUDE:  400 m above sea level
YEAR PLANTED:  1980.

VINIFICATION:  The grapes are harvested in mid-October. The must ferments on skins for about 10 days at a maximum controlled temperature of 30°C. Pumping over at least 4/6 times a day allows the best possible extraction of the characteristic garnet red colour and tannins.

MATURING:  upon completion of fermentation, the wine is transferred into steel tanks for decanting and elimination of the lees, achieved thanks to frequent racking. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in steel. The wine is bottled in late spring and can be released for sale after a month’s bottle ageing.

ALCOHOL CONTENT:  14% vol.
