Rodello

Perched 537 meters above sea level on the steep ridges south of Alba, Rodello exploits its elevated Langhe microclimate to cultivate highly expressive grapes. This Cuneo province commune boasts 23 protected denominations, prioritizing prized local red wines like Dolcetto d'Alba DOC, which is restricted to a compact zone of just 36 municipalities. Within Rodello's borders, 4 verified producers craft these altitude-influenced wines, with 1 cellar welcoming travelers for tastings. The sharp diurnal temperature shifts at this elevation define the structure of the local vintages, linking the village's steep topography directly to the glass.
