Embracing Barbera’s trademark high acidity, this is a perfect wine to pair with numerous traditional Piedmontese dishes. Its harmonious balance of deep color and anthocyanin, high acidity, and low tannin accompanies notes of red cherry, raspberry, and spice.
This vibrant, full-bodied wine is a blend of grapes harvested in parcels spread amongst the three communes of Barbaresco, Neive and Alba. Included as the primary source are grapes harvested in the cru “Ca’ Grosso” in Barbaresco. The grapes are crushed and are then fermented in stainless steel for almost two weeks after which the wine is racked into oak barrels and “botti” for one year prior to bottling. The average age of the vines is 30 years.
