This wine is obtained from the fusion of all the plots of Barbera managed by the winery which, due to their different age, location and soils, are harvested separately, then aged for a short period of 4/6 months in wood and finally joined together in a single cuvée to maintain a freshness, balance, pleasantness and genuineness that make it ideal for every palate.
Farming tradition that found its rightful dimension in the mid-1990s.
The Barbera grape has always been grown in Piedmont, but because of its, undeserved, reputation, it was neglected for many years and associated with the image of “farmer’s wine” in the derogatory sense that this term once held. Its potential emerged with new energy in the early 1990s thanks to various producers and now, having found its legitimate dignity, it is an indispensable and distinctive representative of this area.
In addition to the historical MONFALLETTO site in the Annunziata hamlet of La Morra, we have vineyards in Alba, Castiglione Falletto, Guarene and Cherasco. One of the distinctive features of our vineyards is that they are particularly large and unified in a few sites, unlike the majority of other local producers, who operate on “micro-plots” located in various parts of the area. This gives us a logistical and operational advantage which facilitates quick and effective intervention, when necessary, guaranteeing a high level of consistency in terms of quality on each plot, as well as encouraging the real beneficial effect of organic cultivation. We cultivate our land in compliance with a 100% certified organic farming system, and the varieties we grow, which are typical of the area, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, Arneis and Chardonnay, are planted in varying locations, with different exposures and altitudes, depending on their natural predisposition to bear ripe and balanced fruit, based also on the type of soil and microclimate.
