Descrizione

A vigorous and long-lived Barbera, to be tasted calmly, paying attention to it, without necessarily pairing it with meals. This wine is the result of a prolonged waiting process both in the vineyard and in the cellar and should be sipped slowly, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the complexity of its aroma which gradually reveals itself in the glass.

Notes of red fruit jam, cherries in alcohol, green tea, spices and liquorice emerge. On the palate, the sensation is of warmth, softness and velvet.

This wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as braised meat, game, spicy cheeses, herbaceous flavored cheeses such as Gorgonzola, roasts and stews.

Winery history

The Povero family has been rooted in the Piedmont region since the first half of the 19th century: land purchased in 1837, grandfather Bartolomeo planted vineyards in 1948, and in 1964 the sons began bottling under the family name. In the years that followed the estate expanded, and from the late 1990s it undertook conversion to organic viticulture, completed with certification covering the main vineyards.

Production philosophy

Sustainability and respect for the land guide the company's practices: organic vineyard management, conservation of woodlands to support biodiversity, and cellar practices aimed at reducing environmental impact while preserving the expressive character of the grape varieties.

Terroir and vineyards

Based in Cisterna d'Asti, at the crossroads of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, with varied soils that characterize both white and red wines typical of Piedmont.
