Barbera Monferrato

Ruby red with aromas of red fruit. The palate shows moderate, soft and elegant tannins with excellent acidity and bags of fresh and dried fruits.

Enjoy with turkey, chicken, red meat, pastas with hearty sauce or mildly aged cheeses.

The Bricco dei Guazzi Estate is located in Piedmont, near the town of Olivola (Province of Alessandria), in the “Monferrato Casalese” DOC. The property is at the top of a “bricco” (hill in the local dialect) and is surrounded by 100-year old cedar trees. These hills are light in colour due to the calcareous and marly soil. Truffles are very common in the area, which receives hot temperatures and limited rainfall.

The estate has 50 hectares (125 acres) of land, 30 (75) of which are dedicated to vineyards. The Villa and its cellar were completely renovated in 2004. Many new plantings of selected clones were carried out in the vineyards, using a high concentration of plants in order to create a new-style Barbera.
