Barbera d’Asti Superiore docg
After having aged for 18 months in big barrel, our version of Barbera d'Asti Superiore is a wine of great class and expressiveness. This Barbera is produced by accurately selecting the best bunches, they are in fact the last grapes to be hand-picked. A very gentle crushing follows and the fermentation is carried out in steel tanks at controlled temperature. After a wild malolactic ferment, its long period of maturation in 'botte grande' begins. Intense ruby red color, the nose is direct with hints of red berries, ripe cherries, liquorice and menthol notes. On the palate the acidity is distinct and brilliant, tannins are soft and elegant. A powerful wine, but also of immediate pleasure, which best describes the strong connection between us and the landscape. To be enjoyed right now or to be left to rest for several years.

We are 3 brothers, third generation of a family of farmers and winemakers, together we share the love for our land and our territory.
We are in Piedmont Region, the landscape is the Monferrato Astigiano recognised as a UNESCO site since 2014 together with the wine-growing landscapes of Langhe and Roero.We have the great advantage of having a Natural Park a few meters from our property in a beautiful context which, both from a climatic and vegetational point of view, has a Mediterranean influence deriving from the Langhe area and an Alpine influence deriving, instead, from the hilly system of Turin.
Piemonte
From Asti Spumante to Barolo, the wines of Piedmont are among Italy’s most prolific and best rated. The region’s pedigree is apparent in its 58 DOC and DOCG zones, and although it is only the sixth largest producer in terms of volume, it has the highest percentage of classified wines in all of Italy. No IGT wine area is identified. This westerly region that borders with Switzerland and France is influenced by the Alps and Apennines (the name Piedmont means "foot of the mountain") and its seasons are very distinctive. Hot, dry summers, cold winters, and temperate springs and autumns are common with occasional fog during harvest time.
Undoubtedly it is the red wines that lead the way in terms of quality and cellaring potential with wines made from the noble Nebbiolo grape. The DOCGs of Barolo, Barbaresco, Gattinara, Ghemme and Roero all represent the grape at its finest: they are complex, alluring wines with extraordinary depth and great ageing potential. Barolo ("king of wines and wine of kings") is made in the Langhe hills with its output of 6 million bottles a year far exceeding that of Barbaresco at less than 2.5 million.
