Piemonte D.O.C. Barbera Passito

Appassimento style in Piedmont

A new entry in the Piedmontese wine scene that introduces the method used in Veneto to make wines such as the famous Amarone.

A new and surprising variation for the Barbera variety, a great and truly exciting wine.

Rich and sumptuous wine with particular hints of cooked fruit and marasca cherry jam.
Its sugar residual accompanies the velvety and silky sensations of the tannins, balancing them to perfection. The finish is very persistent.

Its clusters have compact structure, while in autumn its leaves are tinged with red colour that makes our hills shine.
