This Barbera d'Alba shows a fresh, direct profile, with clear red fruit reminiscent of cherry and morello cherry, plum nuances and a light floral touch.

On the nose it’s not intrusive but offers cleanliness and immediacy; on the palate lively acidity supports a medium body, the tannins are soft and well integrated and it is smooth and pleasant to drink. The finish is savory and leaves a lingering persistence that invites a second sip, without ever losing grace or substance. It lends itself to everyday dining and to more characterful dishes: ragù, grilled meats, cured meats and aged cheeses bring out its freshness; it also works well with rich first courses. An excellent choice for those seeking a structured yet enjoyable wine, suitable for informal gatherings and the family table. If left to rest for a few years it retains its balance, but its strength lies in its immediate accessibility and versatility in pairings.

Winery history
Founded in 1950 (Faccenda family). Today run by brothers Enrico and Marco Faccenda; the estate owns about 50 hectares of vineyards and a holding of roughly 5 hectares in Monforte d'Alba.
Production philosophy
Balance of tradition and innovation, respect for the land and tailored winemaking: cryomaceration for whites, extended macerations for reds, ageing in large Slavonian casks and French barriques; ageing also carried out in an underground cellar.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards across Roero and the Langhe (Canale, Vezza d’Alba, Castellinaldo d’Alba, Barbaresco) with an estate in Monforte d’Alba; the Barolo «Rocche di Castelletto» is sourced from the Castelletto cru in Monforte, on clay-limestone soils at about 400 m asl.
