Langhe Barbera

Vineyard and terroir

The vines grow at 310–370 m above sea level on southwest- and southeast-facing slopes. Soils are marl-clay and limestone. The vines were planted between 1973 and 2005.

Grapes

Barbera grown in Langhe makes up at least 85% of the blend. The remainder is a small proportion of other permitted red varieties.

Vinification

The 2024 harvest ran from 25 September to 5 October, when the grapes had reached peak ripeness. Vinification was traditional: the must fermented for around 10 days at a controlled temperature of 26 °C.

Ageing

The wine aged for several months in Slavonian oak barrels, which softened its character without losing Barbera's distinctive varietal qualities.

Tasting profile

Juicy, powerful yet elegant, with expressive ripe fruit flavours and berry aromas. Lively and rounded, with noticeable but well-balanced acidity and soft tannins. The finish is harmonious and long.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with pasta, grilled vegetables or aged Parmesan. It should be stored in a cool, dark place.
