Description
Stradivario, our Barbera Superiore, was born in our most important cru in Cocconato. Entirely facing south, Bricco della Pieve is an historical vineyard of Cocconato, old parish benefit, climbed on the slopes of a gentle hill, on where rises up the Romanesque little church called «Madonna della Neve». Here we have always grown our Barber vineyard, which since the ‘80s bears the name of the most famous violin of all, due to our passion for the music. Over the years Stradivario has proved to have a great longevity – a wine to taste today but to save for the years to come.

Today, the family estate extends in Monferrato and Langa, with fifty hectares of vineyards and twenty hectares of natural fields and woods, cultivated with the same awareness, care and attention of the olden times resulting in a sustainable agriculture with a reduced environmental impact.
Walking along the Bava vineyards, you will notice the grass clippings and the prunings used as natual fertilizers, the poles, all strictly made of wood coming from renewable forests or grassing between vine rows, which not only helps prevent soil erosion, but also serves as proof that no hebicides are used.
