Vintage Conditions – 2022
The 2022 vintage in Piedmont was characterised by an early start, dry conditions, and consistently high temperatures. While rainfall was low, the vines showed excellent resilience, adapting to the lack of water and producing smaller, concentrated berries. This resulted in intensely flavoured wines with vibrant acidity and depth—hallmarks of quality Barbera.
Food Pairing
Perfect with roast meats, grilled vegetables, wild mushroom risotto, or a cheese board featuring aged Italian cheeses. Its ripe fruit and refreshing finish also complement tomato-based pasta dishes and herbaceous sauces.

| Winery | The Barbera grapes for this appassimento method wine come from the northern banks of the Tanaro River in Piedmont. The site was chosen specifically, as the soils are sandy and dry with good mineral content, which does not require much treatment. The cooler climate of the area (compared to the traditional Langhe area) and the influence of the Tanaro River create a specific microclimate that suits this production method. The cooler climate also naturally reduces the need for treatments, which are only used when necessary. The Barbera variety produces rich and textured fruit, and this site produces grapes with a naturally enhanced sugar concentration, a strong character, and a delicately spicy element. The grapes are hand-harvested into small wooden baskets, then stacked on each other to form columns and placed in a fruit shed, providing the perfect conditions for drying the whole cluster of grapes and concentrating the sugars. |
