Barbaresco
Located in the northwest of Italy, in the wine region of Piedmont, the D.O.C.G. Barbaresco is a production area dedicated to red wine made from nebbiolo grapes in the towns of Barbaresco, Neive, and Treiso.
Its 500 hectares of vineyards produce approximately 2.5 million bottles per year of a wine with a very complex and elegant nose, full body, and rich tannins on the palate. Despite sharing the use of the nebbiolo grape with the neighboring Barolo appellation, the red wines from these two areas show some differences. The influence of the Tanaro River causes the nebbiolo in Barbaresco to ripen earlier, shortening the fermentation and maceration processes and resulting in softer tannins compared to those found in Barolo wines.
