Descrizione

A wine produced with 100% Barbera vines grown on land at an altitude of about 150-200 m above sea level on calcareous and marly soils. After the manual harvest of the grapes, the vinification in steel at a controlled temperature begins, followed by maturation in wooden barrels for a period of about 6 months and further refinement of 4 months in the bottle.

When poured, its deep ruby red color with violet hues can be admired. The nose opens offering intense fruity and slightly spicy aromas among which nuances of fresh red fruits and jam prevail. A round and soft sip, with a soft and dense tannic texture well integrated into the solid structure, which accompanies a persistent finish with long and pleasant spicy notes.

A great Piedmontese classic, perfect to be enjoyed with all the regional cuisine. Also ideal with mixed starters, first courses with meat sauce and meat main courses.

Winery history

The estate traces its roots to the village of Olivola: the Villa del Bel Riposo was built by Stefano Guazzo in the second half of the 16th century, and in subsequent centuries the property also passed to the Conti Candiani. Winemaking remains a living tradition at the estate, which preserves traces of its noble history by combining historic buildings with modern cellar facilities.

Production philosophy

Faithful to Monferrato's identity, the winery combines precision viticulture and an artisanal approach with the use of contemporary technologies. The winery aims for elegant, distinctive wines, showcasing indigenous grape varieties alongside some experimental projects from Langhe and Gavi.
