Tenuta Il Finale Wins Silver at the Decanter World Wine Awards
Updated: Jul 22
Award-winning winemaking begins in the vineyard. We are delighted to announce that Tenuta Il Finale Barbera d’Asti Terroir Series 60 DOCG has been awarded a Silver Medal with 90 points at the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards - one of the world's most respected and influential wine competitions.
This recognition is more than an accolade. It is a celebration of our commitment to expressing the unique character of Piemonte through carefully nurtured vineyards, sustainable practices and a philosophy that places terroir at the heart of every bottle.
A Wine That Speaks of Place
The Terroir Series was created to showcase the remarkable diversity of individual vineyard sites across our estate. Rather than blending fruit from multiple locations, each wine in the series reflects the distinctive soils, elevation, exposure and microclimate of a single vineyard.
Terroir Series 60 is a perfect example of this philosophy. Crafted exclusively from Barbera grapes the wine captures the authentic identity of its site, delivering freshness, purity and structure in every glass.
The Silver Medal awarded by Decanter confirms that wines with a strong sense of place continue to resonate with both international judges and wine lovers alike.
Why the Decanter World Wine Awards Matter
The Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) are recognised globally as one of the wine industry's most rigorous competitions. Thousands of wines from around the world are assessed through blind tastings by leading Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers and international wine experts.
Achieving 90 points and a Silver Medal places Terroir Series 60 among an elite selection of wines recognised for their outstanding quality, balance and regional expression.
The Character of Terroir Series 60
Barbera is celebrated for its vibrant acidity, expressive fruit and exceptional versatility at the table. Terroir Series 60 embraces these classic characteristics while allowing the vineyard's individual personality to shine.

Bright ruby colour with vibrant intensity.

A fresh, lively palate balanced by elegant structure.
