Vite Colte ‘La Luna E I Falo’ Barbera D’Asti Superiore DOCG: Piedmont’s Star

Crafted under the stringent DOCG Superiore regulations-requiring extended aging, partly in oak-this wine delivers exceptional depth, structure, and aging potential. It’s a powerful, yet elegant, expression of the Barbera grape, named after a famous work by Italian author Cesare Pavese, embodying the connection between the land and its culture.
