Montegalletto
Roero
First vintage: 1996
It is the winery’s historic Nebbiolo. This wine, along with arneis and barbera were the labels that first saw the light of day at the winery, the nebbiolo, renamed
In fact, thanks to the territory from which we come, barbera takes on organoleptic characteristics that stand out from the others. Here with this label we find it in its simplest expression, vinified only in steel tanks, to give the opportunity to feel the scents and flavors of the barbera of our lands.
