About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Barbera is grown organically in the estate's vineyards in Olivola, in the Ghenza Valley.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand at optimal ripeness. Fermentation is spontaneous, with native yeasts, in concrete vats without temperature control and lasts 60 days.

Ageing

The wine ages for 18 months in fiberglass tanks. It is neither fined nor filtered before bottling.

Tasting profile

A fresh, lively red with an expressive, distinctive character.

Serving and pairing

Suited to traditional Piedmontese dishes.

Label / history

Made by the family-run Cascina Gasparda estate.
