Cunca d'Or is Cà Brusà's Barbera d'Alba Superiore, named after one of the estate's vineyard plots. Made from 100% Barbera, it ages a year in small oak barrels and a further year in bottle before release. The result is a full-bodied, warm, and round red with a long, joyful finish that showcases the grape's natural drinkability.
Cunca d'Or proves Barbera doesn't need to be simple — a year in oak gives it real depth without losing its charm.
