Barbera d'Alba DOC
The small vineyard that produces this Barbera d’Alba is located near the Barolo area in the Municipality of Monchiero, about 5 km from the winery headquarters. The wine is aged for about 1 year in steel only and for about 6 months in the bottle before being released onto the market.
Production is limited to a few thousand bottles, approximately 4,000 bottles.
It is a persuasive wine of great body and harmony, with spicy and complex aromas, a full expression of a strong and generous land. It pairs wonderfully with traditional Piedmontese dishes, enhancing risottos, roasts, boiled meats, braised meats, and game.
