Tasting Notes
The 2022 Barbera d'Alba Pre-phylloxera has a dark ruby red color, bright, with intense violet reflections. Fascinating and stratified on the nose, it opens with notes of berries,
continuing with an intense spicy note and aromas of medicinal herbs, flowers and balsamic hints. On the palate, it shows an excellent structure and freshness and proves
to be already well integrated and persuasive, thanks to the perfectly blended velvety tannic texture.
About the Wine
Produced from one of the last archaic vineyards of Langhe region, an open-air museum from a time gone by, with vines older than a hundred years. The vines are onto 100% Vitis
Vinifera roots and replicate by propagation. They have therefore maintained, over the decades, the original Barbera characteristics. The low production per hectare guarantees
an intensely rare and rich organoleptic concentration. The wine is refined in oak casks which slowly develop all primary aromas. Pleasant and refined, complex even as a young
wine, it is not afraid to be aged in bottle, expressing its solid uniqueness even over the years.
Vineyard Notes
The vineyard has an excellent exposure and sandy-chalky terrain, situated in Berri near La Morra, which guaranteed the vines a natural protection from Phylloxera and imparts unique and exclusive characteristics to the vines. The intriguing simplicity of the vines and their typical, traditional charm that derives from the microclimate and favorable altitude make a one of-a-kind wine.
