The Story

Grape variety: 100% Barbera

Vineyards: A single vineyard Barbera from the Pio Cesare’s "Colombaro" vineyard near the famous Ornato Estate in Serralunga d'Alba. “ Fides “ is the Latin  for “trust” and “ faith “. A true act of faith and trust was made by the Pio Family when, instead of Nebbiolo, we planted Barbera in a vineyard, where a great Barolo could have been produced instead.

Vinification: Fermentation in  stainless steel tanks. Skin contact for about 10 days.

Ageing: Right after the drawing off the wine rests 20 months in medium toasted French oak casks: 80% in barriques and 20%  in 20hl casks.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red, and looking bright and medium. On the nose it is open, youthful, refined and generous. The taste is fresh, fruity, fragrant, vivid, with medium tannin ., with silky tannins, and high in acidity and with balanced structure. On the palate it is layered and has mineral, cranberry and smoky flavours. The finish is long, lingering, flavorful, pure and vibrant. This wine is fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
