About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the Laficaia vineyard in the Casalotto cru, in the municipality of Mombaruzzo. Its southern exposure supports phenolic ripeness and the development of delicate aromas.

Vinification

The ripest grapes are selected in the vineyard before being carefully harvested and vinified in steel tanks. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation.

Ageing

The wine matures for six months in 500-litre French oak barrels.

Tasting profile

Young, complex and rounded, with delicate aromas and the freshness associated with Barbera.

Label / history

The vineyard takes its name from the fig tree under which Clemente Guasti liked to spend time. The 2020 vintage received a gold medal at the Mundus Vini competition.
