Barbera doc dei Colli bolognesi

HARMONY AND FOLLY…

Without a doubt, in the old days, Barbera was the most common wine enjoyed in the taverns of Bologna and the surrounding area. A wine that surges in verticality thanks to its acidity and has a rich depth brought by the maturity of the grapeseeds and a lengthy maceration which also adds a certain tannicity and ironic character that appeals to all.
