Description

A collaboration between Fabrizio Iuli and Les Caves de Pyrene (Eric Narioo) in hilly Monferrato region of Piedmont. The grapes for this Barbera come from the lieux-dit “La Tina”, belonging to Fabrizio’s family for a long time, formerly part of their old winery. The vines are 30 years old plus, and had been abandoned for 15 years before Fabrizio took them back. Hand varvested grapes are macerated for 12 hours in concrete vats then transferred to cement tanks for 9-10 months. No filtering or fining, just a tiny dose of SO2 before bottling.
