About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

A traditional Barbera sourced from multiple vineyard parcels with clay-and-sand soils.

Grapes

100% Barbera.

Vinification

For the 2025 vintage, healthy grapes with balanced sugar, acidity and phenolic development were destemmed and crushed. Skin maceration lasted 5–7 days at 28–30 °C. Malolactic fermentation was completed in mid-December. Lots from the different vineyard parcels were blended in spring and bottled.

Ageing

The wine receives short-term ageing in oak barrels.

Tasting profile

Bright ruby red. The generous nose presents blackberry and cherry notes. The palate is elegant and marked by excellent freshness.

Vintage notes

A mild winter was followed by a cool, regular spring with abundant rain, building useful water reserves for summer. Pronounced day-to-night temperature variation from late August encouraged slow, gradual phenolic and aromatic ripening, helping develop intense aromas while preserving freshness. The 2025 harvest began September 4 and ended September 17.
