Produced by Bruno Giacosa, a revered figure in Piedmont winemaking, this vintage stems from his historic estate known for its traditional approach. The wine is crafted from grapes grown in vineyards with clay and limestone soils, which contribute to its acidity and structure. This Barbera displays deep ruby hues with aromas of dark cherry, leather and subtle spice. The palate is marked by lively acidity, with a lingering finish that reveals its complexity.
