Vintage Details

The 2023 vintage in the Langhe was characterized by a balanced climate, with warm but not excessive days and good temperature variations between day and night. These conditions favored homogeneous ripening of the grapes, which were able to develop intense aromas and a pleasant natural acidity. The result is a fresh, crisp, and energetic Barbera, maintaining an excellent balance between fruit and structure.

Vinification and aging

Aging continues for several months in concrete, stainless steel, and fiberglass containers, without any passage in wood: a deliberate choice, so as not to mask the bright and fruity character typical of the grape variety.
