“Old” vineyard means few grapes but of excellent quality. Precisely for this reason our Barbera d’Alba is not banal, but is a “flagship” of our production.
This Barbera was born following the purchase of the vineyard of Tonieta (Antonietta), an elderly lady from the town of Monteu Roero who, when I was a child, loved preparing Tiramisu for me, which I was very fond of!
