From the top of la Rocca e Pira vineyard. 15 year-old vines. Natural ferment. 35 days maceration / fermentation. Easy, juicy, chewy, light tannins, pale colour, small red berry fruit notes, long with a refreshing acidity. Fine example of barbera.

Barbera tends to be matured in a lot of oak to compensate for its naturally light tannic structure but when you taste this barbera, you realise how beautifully balanced it can be without being force-fed tannins!
