The Montersino Cru lies at the southern tip of Barbaresco, close to Treiso, at 320 metres above sea level. The Roccas’ 0.42-hectare parcel perches at Barbaresco's highest and coolest area. Angelo Rocca planted the south-facing vines in 1998 on very poor clay and limestone slopes with thin layers of sandstone. The sandstone brings finesse, as does the altitude. Daniela Rocca highlights that this soil type (locally called Formazione di Lequio) resembles Barolo’s Monforte and parts of Serralunga.
