Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby-red colour with youthful brightness. The nose is inviting and expressive, with ripe red and black fruit notes, hints of spice, and a subtle floral lift that reflects the careful handling of the grapes. On the palate, the wine is fresh and vibrant, with the natural energy Barbera is known for, balanced by supple texture and well-integrated oak. The short maceration and aging in second- and third-use barriques help preserve aromatic purity while adding gentle structure. It should drink well in its youth but also has enough balance and concentration to develop over the next few years.

Production
The grapes are harvested from the Nizza area, where the combination of clay and sand soils creates ideal conditions for Barbera. After destemming and gentle pressing, the must undergoes six days of skin maceration at temperatures up to 28°C to protect the grape’s delicate aromas and freshness. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation are completed before winter, followed by 12 months of maturation in second- and third-year French oak barriques before bottling.
