Characteristics
On our hills grapes from a special barbera clone are widely found, they are characterised by a small cluster, and large, well-exposed berries. For this modest lot of fruit, every harvest is truly unique. The length of its maturation in oak is determined by the structure of each year’s wine and by our expectations regarding its longevity, but use of oak is always intended to highlight, not submerge, its natural fruit qualities. The vanilla of the wood and the slow oxygenation modifies the perception of the wine, creating a smooth and velvety body, rounded with an undercurrent of rose, blackberry and a trace of spice. On tasting one is struck by the full and pulpy body in perfect harmony with the nose. Production area Castelnuovo Don Bosco and Schierano vineyards Grape 100% Barbera d’Asti Altitude and exposure 380 mt a.s.l.; south, south/west System of cultivation Guyot Soil type grey-blue clayey marl

Vinification
We select only the smallest Stone-Grapes deriving from old vineyards, which are then used to make our Barbera “Sebrì”. The soaking takes one week more than the norm and during this time we frequently mix the must and make delestages. Part of this wine, with only a few grams of residual sugar, is put into small French wooden barrels, for the end of the fermentation and the refining process, which lasts over a year. Alcohol 14-14,5% vol. Total Acidity 5,9 gr/lt Bottle size 750 ml. Bordolese Bottle cap natural cork
