About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Costamiòle comes from vineyards in the Agliano Terme area. Their favorable southern exposure suits Barbera and helps preserve the variety’s freshness and aromatic character through maturation in small oak barrels.
Grapes
100% Barbera.
Vinification
The grapes were destemmed and crushed after reaching the cellar. Skin maceration was managed for balanced extraction, with two pump-overs per day and temperatures kept below 30 °C.
Ageing
Approximately 12 months in new French oak barriques, followed by at least one additional year in bottle before release.
Tasting profile
Ruby red with violet reflections. The rich, intense and persistent bouquet combines violet and plum with licorice and vanilla. The palate is balanced, energetic and intense, carrying fruit and spice aromas.
Vintage notes
The 2021 winter was mild, with ample rain and some snow that replenished groundwater. Localized frost in mid-April reduced yields without compromising fruit quality. A long period of settled weather extended through summer without extreme heat, while June and July brought occasional storms. Strong day-to-night temperature variation near harvest supported balanced sugar accumulation, freshness and polyphenolic maturity. Harvest ran from September 13 to 22.
