BARBARESCO DOCG
Barbaresco comes from the Nebbiolo grapes grown in the area surrounded by the towns of Barbaresco, Neive and Treiso, ancient, small Langhe villages in the Cuneo Province. The peculiar sensitivity of the Nebbiolo vine to the climate of these area produces a wine which is rather different from the one coming from the same vine cultivated elsewhere. Barbaresco has an alcoholic content of at least 12.5 degrees and, before being marketed, it is aged for not less than 26 months, half of which in a barrel.
