A classic, 100% Barbera from the estate's home vineyard in Diano d'Alba and a vineyard in Grinzane Cavour, crafted to preserve the variety's distinctive character. Aged in concrete tanks to keep freshness while adding depth. Ruby red with violet reflections in youth, turning garnet with age, with an elegant, floral opening of rose petals, small wild cherries and fresh field herbs; fruity on the palate with fine acidity and medium body.
Marminela shows Barbera the way it should be: bright acidity, floral lift and effortless food-friendliness, with no oak to get in the way.
