Descrizione

Barbaresco DOCG by Francesco Versio is a red wine whose name refers to a historic appellation in the Langhe, in Piedmont. The Barbaresco DOCG is reserved for wines made from Nebbiolo grapes; this offers an initial point of reference but does not replace information about the individual bottle. As no vintage, winemaking details or tasting notes are provided, it is best not to assign unverified aromas, structure or ageing periods to the wine. Its identity is therefore best understood through its connection with the appellation and producer Francesco Versio.

At the table, it can be considered alongside flavourful dishes such as roasts, braised meats, game or aged cheeses. The pairing can be chosen according to the preparation and the bottle’s actual characteristics. To enjoy it, a large wine glass may be suitable; check the label or ask the seller for the vintage and recommended serving temperature. A fitting choice for anyone wishing to explore an appellation-designated red from Piedmont, while leaving room to discover the distinctive qualities of Francesco Versio’s particular interpretation.

Winery history

Francesco Versio grew up in Neive and began vinifying his family's grapes in the early 2010s. After studying oenology and gaining experience working in the cellar at Bruno Giacosa, he launched his own production using the vineyards inherited from his grandfather, consolidating a range focused on Neive's geographical indications.

Production philosophy

Minimal, traditional approach: fermentations with indigenous yeasts, often extended macerations and aging in large barrels for the Barbaresco; for other wines stainless steel and concrete are also used. The stated goal is to clearly express the terroir and the purity of the fruit.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located in the municipality of Neive and include named sites such as San Cristoforo, Currà, Albesani and Starderi. The reported soils vary from clay and sand to limestone, and the exposures are generally favorable.
