More questions
Barbera d’Alba DOC from Crissante Alessandria presents a direct and pleasant profile: in the glass it shows an intense ruby color and a fragrant freshness that accompanies the palate.
The aromas stay on notes of ripe red fruit, cherry and plum, with hints of delicate spices; on the palate the characteristic acidity of Barbera makes the wine lively and easy-drinking, while the body is medium and the fine tannins give it support without weighing it down. It’s a wine that favors drinkability and precision over power, with a persistence that invites a second glass. Serve it slightly chilled to enhance its vivacity; it pairs naturally with everyday dishes such as ragù pasta, flavorful white meats and semi-cooked cheeses. It also works well alongside more rustic or grilled dishes, offering a practical balance between acidity and fruit. A Barbera d’Alba that speaks plainly, sincere in character and versatile at the table.

The story
The estate was founded in 1958 when Crissante Alessandria, together with his wife Teresa, decided to vinify the grapes from the family vineyards, which until then had been sold to other wineries in the Langa. Over the years the property expanded its vineyards on La Morra’s best exposures; management has remained family-run and today is led by Michele Alessandria, with the involvement of his sons Alberto and Luca.
Production philosophy
Production rooted in the traditions of the region: use of native grape varieties, traditional winemaking with extended fermentations, and careful ageing in wooden vessels of varying sizes to respect the specific characteristics of each wine.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate’s vineyards are located in the municipality of La Morra, in the Capalot, Galina and Roggeri vineyards. The winery and family residences are situated in the hamlet of Santa Maria Borgata Roggeri.
