Barbera d’Alba Superiore
The Barbera d’Alba is among the most traditional wine varieties of the Langa area. The vineyard is located right at the entrance to the estate cellar, in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto. Pure Barbera grapes, along with a long maturation in big casks, makes it a versatile wine, with an extreme territorial identity. The glass is tinged with vivid ruby red, with hints of ripe fruit and spices on the nose. The result is an intense, elegant, and fresh wine with extreme drinkability and pleasantness.
