About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Barbera grapes are carefully selected.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand in the second half of September. Vinification combines traditional and innovative techniques: cold maceration, fermentation at a controlled temperature and 6 days of post-maceration.

Ageing

The wine rests for 2 months in stainless steel tanks, then 6 months in oak barrels, followed by 3 months in the bottle.

Tasting profile

Well structured, with a smooth, soft and very pleasant taste.
