L'Antica
Barbera d'Asti Superiore

In our territory Barbera has always been the species of vine par excellence, and it is here that it gives the very best of itself, the best of a great wine. The vineyards date back to the early 1930s, old shoots ensure a limited production of grapes particularly suited to "traditional-style" vinification. The "birth" of this wine comes about in fact in wood, and in wood it remains until the bottling stage. This procedure helps exalts the aromas and perfumes of this great, robust and magnificent wine .
