Viticulture

Grape production is meticulously managed in the vineyard using mainly natural sulphurous agents. With a focus on manual and mechanical mowing between the rows we maintain soil health and biodiversity. Harvesting is conducted entirely by hand, with strict selection ensuring only the best fruit reaches the cellar.

​

Winemaking

After harvest, the grapes are gently transported in small crates to preserve integrity. They are de-stemmed and undergo fermentation with skin maceration lasting approximately 14–18 days, extracting colour, tannins and aromatic complexity. The wine is then drawn off and undergoes malolactic fermentation to soften acidity and enhance roundness, contributing to a more

harmonious and balanced profile.

2024 Vintage report

The 2024 vintage was shaped by a cool, wet spring that replenished water reserves but demanded constant vigilance against disease pressure. A warm, temperate summer followed allowing for steady, balanced ripening without the extremes of recent years. Harvest arrived later than usual, but the extended ripening period brought depth, freshness and refined aromatics

to the fruit. While yields were modest, quality was widely praised, with the resulting wines showing remarkable aromatic precision, clarity and excellent ageing potential.

Profile

The Barbera d’Asti il Sogno DOCG 2024 is crafted from 35+ year-old vines in Castagnole and Costigliole d‘Asti, planted at above 280m from sea level. The wine reflects the estate’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and precision hand-harvesting. Extended maceration enhances its depth, while carefully managed malolactic fermentation refines its natural acidity. The result is a structured yet supple wine with layers of dark fruit, spice and earthy elegance, offering both immediate appeal and long-term cellaring potential.

​

Pairing

Deep red colour, with delicate aromas of black fruits that match perfectly with a light hint of vanilla on the nose. The taste is powerful, but comes along with the right amount of freshness that makes this wine enjoyable in every occasion. It makes a fine partner for cured meats, roasted meats and classic Piemontese appetisers. While approachable now, the wine will continue to evolve gracefully, rewarding those who choose to cellar it.
