Great press, monolithic vintage, and a bargain for lovers of Italian wine.

This classic Barbaresco is a blend of our finest vineyards, a small part of Asili, the part with younger vineyards, and the lowest part of Bernadot in perfect example of an area that moves between structure and elegance. Treiso. With the union of these two different expressions, the wine achieves a better balance than vinifying the two wines as separate parcels. While on the one side there is the explosive finesse of Asili and on the other, the fullness of the Treiso cru, in the glass we find the right balance; the result is a delicious and traditional wine.

Bright cherry and strawberry fruit glides over a backbone of dusty tannins in this linear red. Balanced and harmonious, with a long aftertaste that shows floral, tobacco and spicy notes. Best from 2023 through 2043.
