About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Produced in the Langhe from Barbera, a variety historically associated with Piedmont. The name Dominae evokes Barbera’s traditional image as the queen—or “Lady in Red”—of Piedmontese red wines, with the decisive personality locally expressed in the feminine form “La Barbera.”

Grapes

100% Barbera.

Vinification

The grapes are selectively harvested by hand, then crushed and destemmed. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine macerates on the skins with daily pumping of the must over the cap.

Ageing

Final refinement takes place in oak barrels.

Tasting profile

A richly structured wine with an expansive bouquet of ripe fruit. The palate is enveloping and mouth-filling, leading to a long, persistent finish.

Serving and pairing

Pair with fondue, lasagna, stewed meat, grilled fillet and mature cheese. Cellaring potential is 5 years.

Label / history
