Rosso Alpi Retiche

Barbacàn

Based primarily on Chiavennesca of course, this juicy, vibrant and complex wine also includes a host of rare indigenous varieties like Rossola, Rossolino Rosa, Brugnola, Pignola, Negrera, Chiavennaschino, and Chivaennesca Bianco. A true field blend but with its heart anchored to Chiavennesca. Traditional vinification with roughly twenty days of maceration, followed by nine months’ aging in old 3000L oak botte. This wine presents as fresh as the Alpine air it’s born in. Vibrant cherry and red fruit nose with a delicate pepper spice and minty freshness and a somehow fresh yet dusty granite-like minerality. This wine is both complex and instantly pleasurable, blossoming in the glass with every swirl. It welcomes you in without pretence or artifice.
