About… Barbera.
The Barbera d’Asti “Vigna del Giglion” is grown on a white tuff soil rich in microelements with a south-east exposure. The high age of the vineyard, with vines even of 40 years, gives the wine a remarkable complexity. It shows the characteristic intense purple red colour, intense aromas of ripe fruit stand out, accompanied by a very soft and balanced flavour.
