The finish is long and intense, with delicate spice lingering pleasantly on the palate.

The essence of Piedmont in a glass. From Langhe to Monferrato, fine grapes become wines of unparalleled harmony. Warm scents and persistent flavours narrate the soul of a millennia-old land. The 2024 vintage showcases the expertise of winemakers who create wines of the highest quality, authentic expressions of the territory that honour centuries of viticultural tradition.
Winemaking
The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected on sorting tables in the cellar, ensuring only the finest fruit proceeds to vinification. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures, followed by skin maceration for 10 days with daily pumping over to extract optimal colour, tannin and flavour compounds. The wine is then aged in large wooden barrels for 3 months, allowing gentle integration whilst preserving the vibrant fruit character that defines exceptional Barbera.
