Barbaresco

Wine · PDO · 4 municipalities

In the hills of Piemonte, the Barbaresco DOCG is defined by its strict geography, confined to just four municipalities including Neive and Treiso. Sourced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, this red wine achieves its garnet color and dry, harmonic flavor through a mandatory ageing period of at least 26 months, with a minimum of 9 months spent in wood. What distinguishes Barbaresco is its precise yield adjustments; while the standard maximum yield is 8.0 tonnes per hectare, incorporating a menzione geografica aggiuntiva alongside a vigna designation legally tightens this limit to 7.2 tonnes per hectare, concentrating the character of its 547 verified producers.
