Barbera d’Alba Superiore is the first wine produced by Federico at the end of the 90s and perfectly explains his style. Belong to his philosophy, after Nebbiolo, Barbera is the indigenous vine which perfectly expresses the characters of Langa terroir. It’s a full-bodied wine, structured and balanced by a good acidity.

From old vines in the Crus of Pajagallo and Sarmassa, it is a Barbera of depth and structure, capable of extensive ageing. It is our Barbera, a Barbera from the Barolo village. A Barbera d’Alba of long macerations and ageing in wooden barrels for at least 12 months.
