Cascina Bongiovanni's Barbera d'Alba is fermented in stainless steel and aged in 225-liter French oak barrels, which lend a refined structure and subtle spice to the grape's naturally high acidity and dark fruit. The result is a bold, full-bodied red with plush blackberry and cherry fruit and a velvety finish. Alcohol content typically 14-15%.
A polished, oak-aged Barbera that shows this estate's precision extends well beyond Nebbiolo — vivid acidity balanced by real structure.
