The Barbera grapes employed to make this bright, deep-ruby red come from vineyards in the Alto Monferrato region which extends southwards from the Po’s right bank. The vineyards here are planted at about 350 metres above sea level, the grapes benefit from the cooler nights associated with this altitude. Aged in French oak barriques for about a year, the bouquet shows sweet, spice notes with floral and red fruit which descends to the palate and the soft finish.
