The Barbera grapes from the Barolo and Barbaresco areas give our Barbera exclusive characteristics of full structure, fleshiness, complexity, softness, hints of very ripe fruit, spices and a long life.
The grapes are harvested manually only when they have reached full sugar and polyphenolic ripeness. Some of the bunches are not de-stemmed. The duration of maceration depends on the years and the characteristics of the grapes, and can vary from 10 to 20 days, at a controlled temperature.
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 purple red color. On the nose the varietal aromas of red fruit are evident, where cherry prevails. There are also evident spicy notes of pepper and chocolate. On the palate it is balanced, with a good persistence and a soft and elegant tannin. It goes well with first courses, grilled...
Spicy, savory, medium-bodied, but with a great fragrance. Excellent with fish. It should be served slightly chilled.
