About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vineyards lie at 300–400 metres and face from south to south-east. The moderately calcareous soils are rich in minerals, with balanced proportions of silt, clay and sand.

Grapes

100% Barbera.

Vinification

The grapes are picked by hand, completely destemmed and gently pressed. Controlled-temperature fermentation is followed by an 8–10-day maceration. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wooden barrels.

Serving and pairing

A suitable companion for substantial first courses and meat-based main courses.
