About this wine
A rosé made from Nebbiolo grapes sourced from the estate's Rabajà vineyard — in every practical sense a 'Rabajà rosé,' though no such designation exists under Barbaresco DOCG rules, so it is registered simply as a vino da tavola (table wine). A playful, exploratory bottling from a producer otherwise devoted to serious, structured reds.
A light, refreshing way to taste Nebbiolo fruit without the tannin and structure of the estate's red wines — a fun starting point for newcomers.
Sommelier's Note
"A rosé made from grand-cru Barbaresco fruit is a genuine rarity — most producers wouldn't 'waste' Rabajà Nebbiolo on a rosé. It's a small, honest indulgence from a house otherwise devoted to serious, age-worthy reds."
Food Pairings
A versatile summer rosé — try it with charcuterie, grilled vegetables, or light chicken dishes.

Terroir & Winemaking
Made from Nebbiolo grapes sourced from the estate's Rabajà vineyard in Barbaresco, vinified as a rosé. Since no rosé designation exists under Barbaresco DOCG regulations, it is bottled and registered as a vino da tavola (Italian table wine).
Frequently Asked Questions
- What grape is used for Experentia Rosé?
- It's made from 100% Nebbiolo, sourced from the estate's own Rabajà vineyard in Barbaresco — the same fruit used for their flagship red.
- Why is it labeled as a table wine rather than DOCG?
- Barbaresco DOCG regulations don't include a rosé category, so a rosé made from Rabajà Nebbiolo must be registered as a vino da tavola (Italian table wine) even though the fruit comes from a grand cru.
- Is this rosé similar in style to the estate's red Barbaresco?
- No — it's vinified as a rosé, so it's much lighter, fresher, and lower in tannin, meant for early, easy drinking rather than cellaring.

バルバレスコ アジリ
Barbaresco Asili
RedNebbiolo
From vines averaging 65 years old in the Asili cru — one of Barbaresco's most celebrated sites, prized for perfume and finesse rather than sheer power. Hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel, this bottling favors elegance: refined red cherry and raspberry fruit lifted by rose and violet, with graceful structure and silky tannins.
バルバレスコ ラバヤ
Barbaresco Rabajà
RedNebbiolo
The estate's home-cru bottling, produced from vines averaging 45 years of age on a southwest-facing slope within the celebrated Rabajà cru of Barbaresco, where the winery itself is located. Vinified with native yeasts in old concrete vats and aged in large Slavonian oak casks, it shows the muscular, structured side of Rabajà: dense red and dark cherry fruit, dried rose, and a firm, savory tannic backbone built for the cellar.
バルバレスコ リゼルヴァ
Barbaresco Riserva
RedNebbiolo
The estate's top tier, produced exclusively from old plantings in the Bas-Rabajà section of the Rabajà cru and released only in the best vintages, after a minimum legal aging of over four years for Barbaresco Riserva. A 90-day submerged-cap fermentation and three and a half years in large Slavonian casks build a wine of real depth: layers of dark fruit, dried orange peel, tea leaves and nutmeg wrapped in round, creamy tannins.
バルバレスコ ソリ・パオリン
Barbaresco Sorì Paolin
RedNebbiolo
A single-vineyard Barbaresco drawn predominantly (about 90%) from the cool, elevated Basarin cru in the commune of Neive, at roughly 270 meters altitude. Native fermentation in concrete and around 40 days on the skins, followed by over two years of aging in large Slavonian oak, produce a fragrant, detailed wine: red fruit, rose, and sweet spice up front, with darker berries and graphite emerging with air.
バルベーラ・ダルバ アクシリウム
Barbera d'Alba Axilium
RedBarbera
A name that riffs on the Asili cru, Axilium comes from Roberto Minuto's tiny plot of Barbera planted within the Asili vineyard in Barbaresco — an unusual case of a 'lesser' variety grown on grand-cru Nebbiolo ground. Fermented in traditional cement tanks and aged two years in Stockinger demi-muids, it shows Barbera's power and refinement when planted on top terroir: vibrant red fruit, firm stony minerality, polished tannins, and a long, graceful finish.
バローロ レオン
Barolo Léon
RedNebbiolo
Cascina Luisin's excursion outside Barbaresco into neighboring Barolo, labeled Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba — one of the appellation's most structured, age-worthy communes. In keeping with the estate's traditional house style, it shows woodland berry, iris and menthol aromatics, with a vibrant, linear palate of cherry, cranberry, wild herb and white pepper framed by firm, tightly wound tannins.
