VINE
The classic Barbera grown in vineyards all over Asti's hill sides. Some 5000 vines per hectare produce an average of 8,5 - 9 tonnes of grapes giving 6000 -6200 litres of wine.

HARVESTING
The grapes are picked by hand in the first half of October Carefully selected bunches are despatched for vinification without delay.

VINIFICATION
The must is left to ferment in contact with the skins at a controlled temperature for about 6 -7 days. Frequent remontages promote the optimum extraction of colouring and flavouring elements. Racking is followed by attentive malolactic fermentation.

REFINEMENT AND STORAGE
The wine is bottled after a brief maturation and finishing period. The freshness and fragrance typical of its youth are offered to the market a few months after bottling. It can be kept for several years.

ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS
Deep and brilliant ruby colour that underscores the wine's freshness and vinosity.
