Vinification technique: alcoholic fermentation with maceration of the skins and must at an approximate temperature of 25 – 28°C. The wine, according to the guidelines, is aged in oak wine – casks for over two years and in bottle for over one year, before it is put on sale. In good vintages, Barbaresco enjoys an even longer ageing period in bottle, acquiring harmony and greater wealth of scents.

It has class, harmony and a charming liveliness, and these qualities make it an extremely versatile wine. It offers to the nose a wide range of sensations, fruit, withered flowers, spices.

An excellent wine to accompany first courses, meat, game and cheeses.
