Description
Still red Barbera d'Alba DOC, 14.5% ABV, produced by Corino Giovanni. 0.75 L bottle, 2022 vintage. A wine that embodies the passion and tradition of the Corino family, who have carefully cultivated the La Morra vineyards since 1952. The Barbera, vinified with 5-7 days of maceration at a controlled temperature and aged in barriques, perfectly expresses the terroir's characteristics. The clay-limestone soil and west/southwest exposure contribute to the wine's complexity. After 18 months in barriques, the wine is blended in stainless steel for 3-4 months before bottling. A wine that promises to deliver great emotions.

In 1952, Celeste Corino moved with his wife and children to the village of Annunziata di La Morra, Cuneo, Piedmont, working as a sharecropper on several farms in an area full of vineyards and fruit trees. Celeste's son Giovanni decided to follow in his father's footsteps by founding the current company, focusing more and more on vineyards.
Initially, most of the grapes produced were destined for sale. Then, in the mid-1980s, when Giuliano, Giovanni's son and owner of today's business, still very young, joined the company, the first hectolitres of Barolo were bottled.
In 1987, they embarked on an innovative wine-making path, maintaining the characteristic imprint of the terroir with thinning in the vineyard for better quality, short fermentations at a controlled temperature and ageing in small French oak barrels.
Today, the company cultivates 9 hectares of vineyards, in the town of La Morra, with an annual production of about 50 thousand bottles. Read more
