Ghiomo Lavai Barbera D'alba Superiore

2024 Vintage, Steel, oak barrels, and 6 months in the bottle. Go beyond the most well-known labels and explore the authentic soul of the Fusot, Dario, Vignot, and San Steu vineyards. On these south-facing calcareous-marly slopes, viticulture becomes extreme: yields are drastically reduced to concentrate the pure essence of the territory. The result is a red wine of great substance, designed for those seeking an uncommon depth in artisanal Piedmontese wines. Peasant knowledge guides every single phase of production. The grapes, slightly overripe on the vine and harvested in small ventilated crates, rest for twenty-four hours in withering before pressing. Fermentation ignites at 34 degrees with frequent pump-overs, followed by an extremely slow extraction: about two hundred and fifty hours of maceration on the skins. The liquid then matures between steel and oak barrels, completing the cycle with six essential months of horizontal resting in glass.
