About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Nebbiolo grows in Ghemme, on fluvial-alluvial clay soils that are particularly acidic. This acidity plays a key role in the freshness and purity of the grapes. Yields are limited to 50 cwt/ha, and the grapes are harvested entirely by hand.

Grapes

Nebbiolo from Colline Novaresi has high acidity and a delicate structure, which suits light, elegant rosé wines.

Vinification

The berries are gently pressed. The must ferments at low temperatures in steel.

Ageing

The wine ages in stainless steel tanks, which keep its natural freshness and lightness.

Tasting profile

Bright and easy-drinking, with the expressive character of Nebbiolo and the freshness of the northern Piedmont hills. Light, elegant and delicate.

Vintage notes

The text names the 2025 vintage but gives no detail on its weather.

Label / history

The name Barlan comes from an allegorical character in the carnival of Ghemme, a symbol of the light-hearted spirit of the local culture.
