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.
It comes from an expert blend of Sangiovese grosso from the hills and Terrano. This blend of noble grapes is typical of the Romagna tradition and gives this red wine a particular characteristic and a strong personality.
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 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...
It is obtained from Sangiovese grapes with large and oval berries. After a brief refinement in cask it then continues in the bottle.
Spicy, savory, medium-bodied, but with a great fragrance. Excellent with fish. It should be served slightly chilled.
Small-berry Sangiovese, matures two years in 30 hl oak barrels, followed by three months of bottle aging.
