✨ Technical Specifications
Azienda Agricola Macario Giovanna produces this classic Barbera del Monferrato in Grazzano Badoglio, located in the Monferrato region of Piemonte. The area is renowned for its undulating hills, calcareous marl, and clay soils that foster energetic grape development. Unlike its neighbor Barbera d'Asti, traditional Barbera del Monferrato often displays a softer, slightly rounder palate structure with bright cherry notes and lively natural freshness. Vinified in stainless steel and neutral oak vessels, the wine highlights pure varietal fruit, floral perfume, and an approachable, food-friendly disposition.
