Description
The original grape for this delicate sparkling wine is Malvasia di Schierano; a grape with a small red berry, aromatic, produced in a few municipalities in the northern part of the province of Asti. For more than 60 years, the Bava family has been working with the area's winegrowers to produce this grape. Without forgetting that it is a great DOC, this wine lends itself as an ingredient for fresh long-drinks and refined cocktails. The Malvasia Rosé Bava, produced since the late 1970s, has generated a veritable fashion for aromatic sweet rosé sparkling wines in Italy. This bottle is now an icon for its category on the shelves of the best wine shops.

Since then, over a hundred vintages have gone by, with four generations following one another. The best Bava Barberas are renowned in the world thanks to their high quality.
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.
