A 100% Barbera wine sourced from selected hillside vineyards farmed organically by the estate. The grapes are destemmed and given a 48-hour cold maceration, followed by spontaneous fermentation with about 25 days of total maceration, then aged 14 months in tonneaux. The result is a full-bodied, vibrant red with ripe dark berry fruit, a touch of sweet vanilla, and the bright acidity characteristic of Barbera.
A Barbera that shows real ambition — vibrant acidity, ripe fruit, and enough structure to be taken seriously.
New to wine?
