The challenge was won thanks to his sons Massimo and Marco, who have bottled their wine since 1988;they initially focused on Moscato d’Asti and since 1991 they have processed all of their grape varieties.
Finally, the passion is for the sweet taste of Moscato, which is produced by the Barbero brothers in the sweet and dry versions Moscato d’Asti and Asti Spumante (since 1991).
This “sweet passion” encouraged Cascina Fonda to focus especially on Moscato, a wine produced on the hills between Mango and Neive, symbol of a land that gives unique fruits.
The Barbero Brothers also produce other wines: Dolcetto, Barbaresco and Brachetto. Their products are marketed in Italy, in the United States, in Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden and France.
From 1995 to 2000 the new cellar was developed according logistic and modern principles, to support the processing of Moscato, a young and fresh wine.
Massimo and Marco Barbero continue to work to maintain the quality that characterized all the wines produced by Cascina Fonda. Read more
