Podere Ruggeri Corsini Barolo del Comune di Monforte d'Alba 2011

The Ruggeri Corsini estate was founded in 1995 thanks to a passion for the countryside and a love for great wines. We are Loredana Addari and Nicola Argamante, both with a degree in Agriculture and both specialized in Viticulture and Oenology. Some time ago, we decided to change life, leaving our jobs in the city to buy a small estate (which only produced grapes) in the province of Cuneo, the heart of the Langhe hills: Monforte d’Alba. It is a family-run winery: the property is run and taken care of by ourselves and Loredana’s brother Lorenzo.

The estate gets its name “Corsini” from the small hamlet of Monforte d’Alba, where one can admire the ancient stone houses. Instead, the name “Ruggeri” is Nicola’s mother’s surname: she, believing in us, helped us to achieve our dream, financing the launch of the estate. In the beginning, our production only included the classical Langa wines such as Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba and Barolo, which, over the course of the years, have been flanked by other Langhe wines, new reds, a rose and a white wine.
