AZIENDA AGRICOLA DARDI LE ROSE - MONFORTE D'ALBA, Bussia

Dardi le Rose is situated in the municipal district of Monforte d’Alba, where it covers a total of 6 hectares, entirely under Nebbiolo.
The property is named after the Dardi di Bussia sub-area, which has always been acknowledged as one of the fine Barolo crus. Lorenzo Fantini cited it in his 1880 monograph on Viticulture and Oenology in the Province of Cuneo, and the Atlas of Fine Langhe Vineyards, published by Arcigola Slow Food in 1990, quotes oral testimony on the local historical crus.
