“My primary purpose as grower and wine-maker lies in my desire to invite my cherished clients to re-discover every detail that goes into the ancient 'cru' (e.g. Barbera or Cortese vines) of the Asti region. It is really highly emotional for me to re-discover the ancient wine-making style, as my grand father used to do in the past. It means reading once again the history, the art and the poetry of our ancestors. Here, inside this extraordinary 3550 litre wooden vat, hand-made with the finest Allier oak, we put our best crops of Barbera, selected from our family vineyard at the top of the hill (called sori), ideally situated in terms of sun exposure, and blessed with a perfect microclimate.”
