•Red wine / Barbera 100% •Vineyard exposed to South •Soft pressing of the grapes; fermentation with maceration of the skin for 12 days in steel tank. •After malolactic fermentation, aged in steel tanks for 8 months and 12 months in big oak barre; refinement in the bottle of 6 months before selling •maximum expression of Barbera: every time you close the nose it discovers something different, a very complex fruity (blackberry, plum and cherry) and spicy wine (nutmeg, cocoa, tobacco and leather) with long and well-balanced aftertaste. •3000 bottles DVino Says - Worth the money on the nose alone! Only made in the very best years this beautifully aged Barbera rests for ten months in steel tank before a further 8 months in oak. This is the maximum expression of Barbera. Sourced exclusively from a tiny independent importer, with fewer than 250 cases produced annually. Very Special.

A previous winner of a Decanter Magazine commendation and a silver in the International Wine Challenge this is an incredibly powerful and full on Barbera. Sourced exclusively from one independent importer to the UK, this is something very special for lovers of powerful Italian Reds.

Esteemed appellations like Margaux produce wonderfully rich yet tannic wines with generous acidity, fruit and smoothness.
