Historical notes
This is a red wine with a good alcohol content, strong acidity and moderate structure. Barbera has always been one of the most popular varieties of wine in Piedmont. Not much is known about the origins of this vineyard; we only know that it was being cultivated at the end of the 1700s. You could say that in the past Barbera was the table wine drunk by most farmers, perhaps because of its rough and strong character, which was able to transmit the energy needed to overcome a hard day’s work that was common in the Langhe and Monferrato lands. This vine has good cultural and productive features and has excellent pedoclimate adaptability.
