Description:
Tasting Outstandingly supple, enjoyable both fresh and aged, thanks to its ripe, soft tannins. A very expressive wine, suave, modern, and seductive. Grape Varieties Two thirds Nebbiolo, one third Barbera and Merlot Vineyard from one single vineyard, a cru at Tuffo near Cocconato d'Asti. Wine Production The grapes are fermented separately in steel vats. Ten months in oak.
The bricco di Cadodo cru is an ideal location, the name designates a hill on whose crest the Bavas have patiently tended their vines ever since the 17th century. The wine, whose label bears the new Monferrato DOC designation, is an interesting example of how Nebbiolo, a variety of noble tradition, when planted in the Monferrato area, a short distance from the Langa, its land of origin and choice, can produce a new wine with an old heart. Thanks to the Barbera and the Merlot integrating the map of varieties planted in the Cadodo vineyards, the qualities of this wine are enhanced by the limestone and chalk in the soils of this terroir. It is endowed with natural elegance and drinkability, in tune with modern Italian trends.
