The Barbera d’Alba D.O.C. Superiore is a wine with great structure and intensity. Has not undergone any treatment unless the natural fermentation and a maniacal care, first in the vineyard and after in the cellar. The attention to detail is the secret of high quality and concentration. Just old vineyards, best expositions with a ridiculous production per hectar and a personal feeling and management of this important, rare patrimony. All of the vineyards has been vinified separetly and just the best blend of them becamed Barbera d’Alba Superiore. My philosophy is to follow and understand what nature gave me, without any preconception or recepy to comply. In that way all works are done with a clear target: bring the grape variety, the territory and the vintage characteristic in the bottle. According to my ideas, every year the maceration time, the aging period, the containers used are different. My passion, my experience and feeling combined with the grapes wants to create emotions to whom taste this rare product.
