The wine region of Barbera d'Alba

Premium Piedmontese Barbera around Alba (heart of the Langhe). Fleshier, more concentrated reds than neighbouring Asti, with signature notes of ripe black cherry, candied plum, violet and sweet spices, characteristic fresh acidity and round tannins. Frequent barrel ageing (chocolate, vanilla). Generous palate, accessible young, age-worthy Superiore versions.


The wine region of Piedmont

Kingdom of Nebbiolo: Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG, long-ageing reds with firm tannins and lively acidity, complex aromas of withered rose, sour cherry, tar, truffle and undergrowth. More accessible, tangy Barbera on red fruit, supple, crisp Dolcetto. Sweet, floral sparkling Moscato d'Asti, mineral, lemony Gavi (Cortese) white, round, almondy Arneis from Roero. 50,000 ha across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO.

The word of the wine: Cordon de Royat (size in)

Short trellised pruning with one or two horizontal arms stretched over a wire. Very suitable for mechanization, it offers a very good exposure of the bunches as well as an excellent aeration.
