Ceppi Storici is the Barbera d'Asti created to celebrate our members' oldest vineyards. These vines have a low yield, yet they produce grapes of the highest quality.
Grape variety
Barbera
Area
Monferrato hills in Piemonte. South West aspects at altitudes between 250 and 400m. Limestone-clay soil.
Vinification and ageing
Hand-picked grapes. Fermentation and malolactic fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Aged for approximately 12 months in large and small oak barrels.
Tasting notes
Warm and spicy aromas of blueberry and plum, with subtle smoky notes. The palate reveals notes of ripe cherry and berries, finishing with hints of undergrowth, fine-grained tannins, and good complexity.
Food Match
Great with simple dishes such as pizza and pasta, or drink with lamb shank.
