Distributor's Notes:

"The Gianni Doglia estate is in its third generation of family leadership under Gianni and his sister, Paola. The estate is small — only 10 hectares — and this is by design: keeping the operation small allows Gianni to pay special attention to all aspects of the winemaking process, and in this way express the essence of these unique vineyards. Out of respect for the land and their family's future, Gianni and Paola practice sustainable viticulture: chemical fertilizers or pesticides are not used here, in order to promote the greatest diversity of flora and fauna. In addition, they manage and maintain small wooded areas between the vineyards to increase the local wildlife population. They are members of The Green Experience, a sustainability initiative launched by producers in Piedmont that promotes natural agricultural techniques, conservation of the environment and encouragement of biodiversity. All Gianni's hard work has paid off with his recognition as Gambera Rosso's "Grower of the Year" in 2022! The Barbera d'Asti is a ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of fresh cherries, strawberries and earth jump out of the glass. On the palate the wine is juicy with a zesty, refreshing acidity, medium body and low tannins. Succulent red berries coat the palate leading into a stimulating finish of fruit and earth. This Barbera is easy to drink by itself but is such a versatile wine on the table. Try it during pizza night or enjoy with either beef carpaccio or steak tartare."
