Wine description

The Francesco Versio's Barbaresco comes two small plots of old vines in Neive: one in the vineyard of San Cristoforo, planted in 1969 and the other one in Currà. Francesco Versio decided to start producing his own wine after having worked as cellarman, and then oenologist, at Bruno Giacosa with Dante Scaglione. The Francesco Versio's Barbaresco is described as one of the denomination's rising stars, a Barbaresco for Nebbiolo lovers.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of rose, iris, perfumed berry and dark spice. The elegant, precise palate is youthfully austere, delivering red berry, star anise and white pepper flavors with firm tannins. Vibrant acidity lends balance and an ageworthy structure.

Vinification

Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

Aged in a Stockinger botte grande.
