About this wine
Tòiu is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's Barbera d'Alba Superiore, a deep ruby red with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and wild berries layered with spice, cocoa, and a gentle touch of oak. Vibrant acidity balances the generous fruit, with fine tannins carrying through to a long, savory finish.
Juicy and food-friendly with just enough structure to feel serious — a great everyday-to-special-occasion crossover red.

バザリン
Basarin
RedNebbiolo
Barbaresco Basarin is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's flagship single-vineyard Nebbiolo, grown on the Basarin cru in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio near Alba. Fermented and macerated with traditional Piedmontese methods, it is aged around 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels (30-50 hl) followed by further bottle refinement before release, giving a wine of violet and rose aromatics, licorice and spice, with dry, aristocratic tannins that reward patient cellaring.

Basarin Riserva
RedNebbiolo
The Riserva bottling of Basarin is held back for extended aging under Barbaresco DOCG Riserva rules, giving a deeper, more concentrated expression of the cru. Expect strawberry compote, plump dark cherry and baking spice on the nose, and a juicy, warmly structured palate with the extra time in cask and bottle bringing added complexity and softness to the tannins.
サナダイヴェ
Sanadaive
RedNebbiolo
Sanadaive is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's second single-vineyard Barbaresco, sourced from the Sanadaive plot in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio. Aged around a year in medium-sized oak casks (35-50 hl), it tends to show a lighter, more perfumed profile than Basarin, with dried rose, spice, and a touch of smoked meat on the nose, framed by firm, refined tannins.
