Langhe Rosso D.O.C. Barné

Grape variety: Barbera 75% – Nebbiolo 25%

Production area and characteristics: The grapes come from the hills around Alba. The geological conformation of the land and exposure of the selected vineyards result in high quality grapes.

Yield per hectare: 60 hectolitres.

Vinification: The slightly late-harvested Barbera is destemmed and soft crushed. Nebbiolo grapes are added halfway through fermentation, which takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Maceration lasts about 30 days.
