Label / history

Duca di Saragnano is Barbanera's flagship brand, with wines from different regions of Italy. It is named after the Duke of Saragnano, a warrior who fought the Saracens for the freedom of Southern Italy. Luigi Barbanera, an ancestor of the Barbanera family, was a close friend of the Duke.
