Barbera d'Alba from a strict selection of the best old vines, made only in vintages where quality allows.
Tasting notes
A powerful wine, but not monolithic, deep without saturation. Its expressive energy is revealed in its nuances, the floral hints, the vibrations of juicy fruit, in the warmth it holds. Its kingdom is not the tasting room, but the set table.
