Barbera

Monferrato, Piedmont, Italy

Sette is a splendid vineyard in Nizza, Monferrato, with five and a half hectares of vines aged between 20 and 75 years old. Purchased in 2017 by friends Gianluca Colombo and Gino Della Porta, they set about converting the property to organic farming immediately.

From 80 year old vines rich in limestone, silica, white chalk and silt. Vinifaction is traditional with fermentation occuring spontaneously and the grapes macerating under submerged cap for 42 days. Aging occurs in large oak and concrete.

Rich, round and ripe Barbera, this is a powerful expression of Nizza best served alongside hearty dishes.
