Vinchio Vaglio Barbera d'Asti Superiore Vigne Vecchie 2016
The company has got very old Barbera-variety vineyards, which date back to the period prior to the Second World War. These vineyards have a special planting system, with very close plants and extraordinary sun exposure. Grapes coming from “Vigne Vecchie” ("Old Vinegrapes") are the richest in sugar content and they keep a high-quality standard even in less favourable vintages.

Colour

Bouquet

A full-bodied, round wine with velvety tannins and very persistent.

Vinchio-Vaglio Serra
From this winery:

The story of Vinchio and Vaglio Serra is the story of their inhabitants' love for a rugged, meagre land with such steep slopes. A land whose steep, overhanging vineyards at the edge of the woods have been trained at the cost of unspeakable hard work....
