Tasting notes

Deep ruby red. The nose offers ripe cherry, plum, violet and spice. The palate is lively and juicy, with elegant, silky tannins and the fresh acidity typical of Barbera, leading to a clean, fruity and persistent finish that invites another glass.

About this wine

Bricco dei Guazzi farms around 35 hectares of vines on the hills near Casale Monferrato, and its cellars are housed in 18th-century buildings in the village of Olivola. This Barbera d'Asti, produced since 2005, comes mainly from the south-west facing Torre vineyard, at 150 to 250 metres, where limestone marls alternate with iron-rich clay soils.

Made from 100% Barbera, it ages for around 12 months in large 15 to 20 hectolitre casks and at least 4 months in bottle.

Lively and elegant, it shows the fresh acidity typical of the variety, perfect with Piedmontese cuisine.
