ABOUT THIS WINE
Produced from the historic Vigna Pugnane vineyard in the Barolo commune of La Morra, this Barbera showcases the elegance and depth that old vineyard sites can bring to the variety. Planted on calcareous marl soils, the vines produce fruit with exceptional concentration while maintaining Barbera's hallmark freshness. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in a combination of stainless steel and oak, the 2023 vintage delivers vibrant fruit, refined structure, and impressive complexity, making it equally enjoyable in its youth or after several years of cellaring.
