The Barbera grapes come from a plot of the Ferrione vineyard, located just outside the municipality of Monforte D'Alba with a southwest orientation. The Barbera vines have an average age of almost 40 years and produce grapes of the highest quality year after year.
After the hand harvest in September, the grapes are lightly pressed and completely destemmed. Spontaneous fermentation then begins with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel containers. The wine is aged for 4 months in 500 liter oak barrels, followed by 6 months in cement tanks. Before the Barbera goes on sale, it is stored briefly in the bottle.
The nose is dominated by fresh notes of red fruits and warm spices in the bouquet. On the palate, the Barbera appears dense, structured and balanced. The fine-grained tannin is wonderfully balanced with the acidity and gives this wine its elegance and balance. Drinking window: 2023-2030
