About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Barbera grapes grow in vineyards in Barolo, on sandy, limestone-rich soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, then gently pressed at the winery. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine ages for 9 months in oak barrels, then rests for at least 12 months in bottle in the winery's cellars before release.

Tasting profile

Well-balanced.

Serving and pairing

Pairs with grilled or roasted meats, game, terrines, savory puddings and medium-aged cheeses.
