The wine is a testament to the potential of the Roero appellation.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
This Barbera d'Alba is produced through a process that emphasizes natural expression. Grapes are macerated in stainless steel for 6-8 days, followed by fermentation using native yeasts. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 3-4 months in wood, allowing for integration and development. Harvest is manual, typically occurring in late September. The estate is dedicated to organic and biodynamic farming principles, reflecting a deep respect for the environment and the vineyard.
