100% Barbera from 29-year-old vines on clayey soils on the Campass vineyard in the Serraboella cru, 350m above sea level. Fermented in steel vats at controlled temperatures followed by 18 months maturing in new and second-use French oak barriques.
A real stand out, the 2017 Barbera d'Alba Campass is laced with the essence of blue and purplish fruit, spice, dried herbs, licorice, lavender and menthol. Unctuous and rich in feel, the 2017 has so much to offer. Like the Serraboella Barbera, the Campass is a bit slender relative to the norm, but there are no hard edges. This is such a pretty wine.
