COLLI TORTONESI BARBERA DOC BIGOLLA - MASSA VINEYARDS: WHY WE LIKE IT
In the Tortona tradition, Barbera has always been the most widespread grape variety. The daily wine that accompanies every day lunch or dinner, in this case leaves room for greater structure and complexity that enhance the characteristics of the barbera also thanks to aging. Bigolla is the oldest cru of the Massa company. Characterized by very low yields in the vineyard, it is traditionally vinified and subsequently refines for about 22 months in barriques. A Barbera with a modernist cut that manages to enhance the peculiarities of the grape.
