✨ wine.spec_sheet
Crafted by the legendary cooperative Produttori del Barbaresco, founded in 1958 by the local priest Don Fiorino Marengo to protect small growers, this Langhe Nebbiolo is a masterclass in regional heritage. While many Langhe Nebbiolos source grapes from the wider region, this bottling is unique: it is composed of 100% Nebbiolo grown entirely within the prestigious Barbaresco DOCG boundary, primarily from younger vines. Fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly in large Slavonian oak casks, it offers a vibrant, pure expression of the Nebbiolo grape, capturing the essence of the Langhe's clay-limestone soils without the heavy oak influence. It pays homage to Domizio Cavazza, the founding father of Barbaresco, who first recognized the cooperative potential of these hills.
