2012 Scavino Barbera D'Alba

The Barbera d’Alba is a pure expression of this local grape. Floral, elegant and expressive aromatics, high toned texture, clean, harmonic acidity. The grapes are grown in a single vineyard, Bricco Manescotto, in La Morra, east exposed (morning sun exposure) on the middle of a very steep slope. The soil is well drained and quite poor, perfect condition to ripe Barbera grapes.
