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.

More than 115 years and six generations have passed since that first harvest. Over time, the finest Bava Barberas have earned recognition in many countries thanks to the consistently high quality of the estate’s production.
Today the winery is led by Piero Bava, grandson of the founder and widely regarded as one of the "Patriarchs of Barbera." Piero carries on the family tradition together with his sons Roberto, Giulio and Paolo, and his grandchildren Francesca and Giorgio: three generations working side by side to offer, across 55 markets worldwide, wines that speak of Piedmont, authenticity and deep respect for the land.
Dozens of menus created by Roberto Bava for the legendary Bava Dinners — gastronomic events held across all five continents — now hang on the winery walls, bearing witness to the creativity and long, vibrant history of the Bava family. Read more
