Barbaresco DOCG 2023

The Barbaresco DOCG by Francesco Versio represents an artisanal masterpiece of exceptional purity, aromatic finesse, and timeless grace, crafted in boutique allocations by one of Piedmont's most talented modern winemakers. Drawing upon his formative tenure as head winemaker at the legendary Bruno Giacosa estate, Versio approaches Nebbiolo with chiseled precision. This bottling is born from a harmonious blend of two esteemed crus in the commune of Neive: Currà (renowned for sandy-limestone soils imparting soaring florals) and San Cristoforo (providing structural depth and noble tannic grip).

Cellar protocols faithfully honor classic Piemontese traditions: spontaneous fermentation driven by native yeasts and gentle skin contact in stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for approximately 18 to 20 months in traditional neutral Slavonian oak casks prior to bottle refinement. Francesco Versio's Barbaresco emerges as an ethereal, perfumed, and vibrant red, seamlessly marrying silky tannins with bright acidity and remarkable cellaring potential.
