Fine del Mondo translate in “The end of the World” because it requires a lot of patience and it’s impossible to predict if the wine will get bottled until it actually is. We harvest the Barbera in the vineyard planted in 1926 and it’s the result of a really accurate selection of grapes left behind during the first harvest to be then collected as late as the weather let us do so. The key is having both a long summer and the northern winds, keeping the vines and the grapes dry, preventing bad molds. Then it is necessary to have a long and cold winter, so that the fermentation will be very slow and long, and able to process all the sugar obtained by the long maturation on the plant.

This wine is a celebration of the Barbera grape brought at its maximum expressive potential: the fruit flavors are powerful, the body structure is complex and warm, really pleasant to drink.

I love to drink Fine del mondo in really important occasions, in alternative to a meditation wine or liquor, because the glass keeps changing as it opens up.
