In the mouth it is a mineral and decisive wine. With a harmonious and persistent taste, this Barbera is excellent to drink as in combination with pasta courses based on meat, appetizers typical of the Piedmont tradition or as an accompaniment to a nice platter of cold cuts and cheeses.

The property of the winery is 50% of the Borgogno winery of Barolo and 50% of the Brandini winery of La Morra, two successful producers of the Langhe who were fascinated by the beauty and location of the vineyards of Bricco Asinari. From these vineyards come from the Barbera grapes used to produce two excellent wines: the Barbera d'Asti and the Nizza docg Superiore.
