Descrizione

This wine is the result of a manual harvest in October. Fermentation and maceration take place with skill in steel tanks at controlled temperatures, revealing an intense ruby red heart. Its character evolves thanks to a maturation of 5-7 months in steel or concrete, followed by at least 1-2 months of refinement in the bottle.

This path outlines a wine that embraces its land, with red and black fruits and a salty note, which gives depth and complexity to the sip.

The balance between lively acidity and fruit sweetness is the distinctive signature of this Barbera d'Alba, making it an ideal companion for convivial dinners based on meat and cheese.

Winery history

Family-run for generations, the winery has been in Verduno since the early 19th century. The main building is an 18th-century house adjacent to the historic centre; the family has continued winemaking, maintaining a family-sized operation and management, and preserving the local tradition of producing and bottling wines of the Langhe.

Production philosophy

The winery prioritizes its connection to the territory: it focuses primarily on native grape varieties, produces wine exclusively from estate-grown grapes, and maintains an approach that combines respect for traditional practices, artisanal care, and attention to oenological and agronomic innovations.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located in the crus of Verduno and Monforte d'Alba. The area's microclimate and the calcareous soils of the Langhe hills shape the character and elegance of the wines, particularly the Nebbiolo/Barolo of Verduno.
