Description:
The Barbera Gisep, one of Langhe's best Barberas is produced in tiny quantities. Harvested in the second half of October, the wine is aged in barrique for about a year before bottling. It has good depth, supple fruit and a ripe plummy character that fuses well with the smokiness of the oak.
Barolo Parafada is Franco Massoliono's foray into modernisation. The chalk soil in this south facing vineyard produces marvellous grapes that Franco macerates for 3 days only at high temperatures before racking the wine off into barrique, 50% of which is new, where it is aged for 2 years prior to bottling. The intensity of the fruit ensures the oak is well balanced and the fruit fresh and clean. The structure of Serralunga still shines through in the wine despite Franco's modernistic approach in the cellar. (12 x 75 cl)

A Barbera with a deep violet-ruby red colour, Brichet has an intense, varied bouquet revealing winy hints of fresh red fruit, blueberry and prune that blend into the gentle notes of spices and coffee that are released by just the right amount of Ageing in wood . Conforming perfectly to the bouquet, the flavour is strikingly fresh and savoury, and is complemented by a forceful structure that does not conceal the balanced, yet palpable acidity and tannin content. The finale is tasty and pleasantly persistent. (6 x 75 cl)
