Cá Romé
Cá is short for "Casa": home. Located at the top of the Rabajà hill - Barbaresco's historical cru - the house overlooks an endless vista of gently sloping Langhe country. Since 1980, the winery of Romano Marengo is home to classic red wine-making and the very finest quality.
The vineyards' totalsurface is now a little over 12 acres (5 hectares), partly located at Barbaresco, partly at Serralunga d'Alba, in Barolo territory. Romano personally styles the range, averaging 2.500 cases yearly (30.000 bottles).
He is flanked by son Giuseppe, an oenology graduate, and daughter Paola, in charge of PR and marketing.
The Ca Rome vineyards' hillside terrain is marly, calcareous - clayey and compact, bluish-white in color, impermeable to water; conducive to full-bodied, big wines, with an extremely long cellar life.
In the Barbaresco vineyards, soil is compact, clayey-calcareous, white in color; yelding wines with impressive structure, body and cellar life - and at the same time, exquisitely feminine in style, exhibiting hallmark elegance and balance.
