WINE DESCRIPTION
Established by Stefano Ferraris in 1923, the Ferraris estate resides in Agliano Terme, at the heart of Barbera d'Asti's historic zone. The estate's vineyards, including Roberto Ferraris' steeply sloped plots, benefit from optimal exposure to the morning sun and are cultivated sustainably across twelve low-yielding, sandy, calcareous-soiled hectares. With some vines exceeding 80 years in age, Roberto Ferraris' Barbera d'Asti exemplifies the region's ideal terroir.

The palate offers a concentrated burst of juicy fruits, lively acidity, and a seamless transition to an invigorating finish. Balanced with elements of fruit, earth, and spice, this Barbera showcases Asti's exceptional terroir. Pair with cured meats, artisanal cheeses, mushroom ravioli, or veal chops to complement its smooth and energetic profile.
