Barbera d'Alba Superiore 2023

The Barbera d'Alba Superiore by Elio Sandri (a fierce traditionalist and custodian of classic Barolo heritage at Cascina Disa in Serralunga d'Alba) is a wine of uncompromising authenticity, austere depth, and rustic elegance. Sourced from estate vineyards farmed with strict traditional methods on Serralunga’s calcareous-marl soils — renowned for bestowing structure, power, and mineral backbone — this bottle captures the uncompromising, soulful spirit of its maker.

The winemaking protocol strictly honors old-school Langhe heritage: spontaneous fermentations, extended skin maceration, and patient aging in large neutral Slavonian oak casks (completely avoiding barriques or modern oak artifacts). This purist approach allows the grape to speak with unfiltered clarity, highlighting a bracing, vibrant core acidity and earthy complexity that evolves gracefully over years in the bottle.
