The producer

Cascina Munesteu is a small family estate at Montestefano in Barbaresco, associated with Roberto Rocca and generations of the Rocca family. Its work is rooted in Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto, with the intimate scale and local character of a true family cellar.

Fruit & cellar

Source, hands & bottle.

The family reports doing much of the work by hand, from vineyard through bottling. A modern fermentation cellar sits alongside an old barrel cellar; documented wines use steel or cement for fermentation and wood for maturation. No certification is currently stated.
