Agricolae is a celebration of pure Barbera, the most beloved and widespread grape variety in Piedmont, interpreted here in its most authentic and sincere form. Maceration of about 3 weeks in steel, spontaneous fermentation without selected yeasts, and aging for 9 months in steel. No microfiltration, no fining, and minimal added sulfites. The result is a deep red wine with a fruity, full nose and a typically remarkable body, yet with a surprising freshness and pleasant drinkability.

Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Bright and luminous ruby red color, brilliant and transparent, typical of pure vinified Barbera.
- Nose: The olfactory profile is fruity and full. Hints of ripe red fruit (cherry, black cherry, wild strawberry), small purple flowers (sweet violet), and a delicate mineral note that adds depth emerge. An intense and enveloping bouquet.
- Palate: The entry is fresh and very pleasant, with a remarkable body well-balanced by a lively acidity. Tannins are present but silky, well-integrated into the structure. The finish is harmonious and persistent, with fruity echoes and a clean, savory closure. A wine of great balance and personality, combining power and drinkability.
