Completely overwhelmed by the quality of this vineyard which dates back to the Middle Ages, Dourthe acquired the estate in 1990. For more than 25 years, a new viticultural approach has been applied to the entire vineyard, respecting the terroir and grape varieties in search of excellent quality....
This is how Franco Balter called his wine, produced at home before building the winery, combining the names of his two children: Barbara and Nicola. Today Barbanico is a Lagrein base with the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Our Barbaresco is the result of the careful selection of Nebbiolo grapes from vineyards owned by our family, located in different positions within the Barbaresco area: in Treiso (Cascina Il Bricco, San Stefanetto and Bongiovanni) and in San Rocco Seno D 'Elvio (Rocche di Massalupo).
A Barolo with a classic style, full-bodied and elegant, with structure and harmony, with soft tannins and the right fruit, austere but persuasive. Very long life.
Intense ruby red colour, broad ethereal aroma which includes, in addition to a light herbaceous component, hints of raspberry and violet. The flavor is soft, broad, well structured and with a pleasant tannicity.
Intense red color, typical hints of cherry, blackberry, liquorice, dry, harmonious, velvety, warm taste, good structure, rightly tannic.
Spicy, savory, medium-bodied, but with a great fragrance. Excellent with fish. It should be served slightly chilled.
Intense ruby red color, hints of wild berries implemented by vanilla spice; full but delicate, its vivacity predisposes it to a long life, the persistent aftertaste amplifies its elegance.
