The Barbera is the most important grape of the Astigiano. This wine is a sincere tribute to a land where the wine is daily-life and from centuries accompanies the people. This product of the Bosio's farm is exuberant with all the characteristics of this production area. The complete harmony of this wine cames from a low yield for hectare, with thinning at the right time. In the cellar the wine making is traditional, but with the use of modern technologies. The short passage in big barrel completes this wonderful Barbera. The ruby red colour of the wine reflects the palate of red fruits, plum and cherry, complimented by a silky smooth finish.
