This Barbera di Appassimento produced by the Ricossa family, follows a well-defined production process .  After careful selection in the vineyard, the grapes are harvested manually and delicately arranged in small 5kg crates. They are left to rest for about 4-6 weeks in a dry environment at a controlled temperature using special fans. After the grapes are dried in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C for 10-12 days, maceration on the skins follows. The élevage takes place in stainless steel tanks for 6 months, followed by a minimum of 2 months in the bottle.

In the glass it shows a red color intense. The bouquet is rich, characterized by aromas of red fruit, gently intersected with hints of red jam and a woody note.

In the mouth, it immediately conquers for its velvety and sweet taste, a balanced wine that has the typical acidity of the vine. An elegant red, with soft tannins that help give a pleasant structure, which is an excellent wine to pair with dishes based on grilled red meats, roasts, game, soups and well-seasoned cheese platters, with a long finish to discover .
