A blend of 90% Barbera and 10% Dolcetto (though the biodynamically-grown vines are interplanted with rare varieties like Croatina, Freisa, Brachetto and more, which can find their way into the mix). Fermentation and aging both take place in concrete vats, making for rounded edges and fine tannins. We love Piedmont's "little grapes" and this is an utter delight! Pair with fresh pasta, with or without truffles. They farm their land organically, but use some biodynamic methods as well. Since they acquired the vineyards, they have worked to restore natural soil fertility by planting grass in soils that were hoed for many years; they did a thorough analysis of the soils of their 10 different parcels to determine which plants are the most beneficial to these sites. They harvest the fruit from each of their parcels separately to preserve the characteristics of each.
