Descrizione

Produced in the gentle hills of Monferrato, the beating heart of Piedmont, the Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG Rosso Fuoco by Vite Colte embodies the authentic expression of the Barbera grape variety. This wine is made from carefully selected grapes, which find their elevated aromatic potential in a terroir rich in clays and sands, refreshed by the influence of breezes that moderate the summer temperatures.

The long aging in oak barrels gives Rosso Fuoco a robust structure and marked complexity, with intense aromas of ripe red fruits, cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate spicy notes and balsamic hints. On the palate, it is enveloping, supported by fresh acidity and well-integrated tannins, perfect in the balance between power and finesse.

Ideal to accompany red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, this Barbera d’Asti is a celebration of tradition and passion that meets every sip.

Winery history

Vite Colte was established as a project focused on quality selection linked to the historic cooperative Terre da Vino. The initiative was launched in 2010, and the Vite Colte range of wines was brought to market a few years later, with the first bottlings publicly available from the mid-2010s.

Production philosophy

The production philosophy places the vineyard at the center: shared agronomic protocols with member growers to ensure low yields, manual canopy management, hand harvesting and careful attention to grape ripeness. The aim is a consistent quality standard through integrated pest management and areas of the vineyard in conversion to, or managed under, organic farming.

Terroir and vineyards

Based in Barolo, with vineyards and sourcing distributed across the Langhe hills, in the Barolo and Barbaresco areas and in other Piedmontese zones suited to viticulture such as Gavi, Monferrato, Moscato d'Asti and Roero.
