About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Barbera grows in the Dezzani estate's vineyards, where days are sunny and nights cool but not overly cold. The vines are 50 years old.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected, then gently pressed. The wine undergoes extended maceration and ferments at 24 °C.

Ageing

The wine is aged for 18 months in oak barriques, followed by further time in bottle.

Tasting profile

Deep and rich, with varied aromas and flavours. The old vines give depth and balance.

Serving and pairing

Suited to a wide range of dishes at the table; the text names no specific dishes.
