The Barbera d'Asti Casa Scarpa is a red wine produced with 100% Barbera grapes grown on the estate "I Bricchi", on the border between Castel Rocchetto and Acqui Terme. After aging in steel ranging from 12 to 14 months, the wine shows a beautiful intense ruby red color and in the nose it develops intense and complex aromas, with typical hints of red fruit. In the mouth the taste is fresh, powerful, balanced and characterized by a persistent finish. The Barbera d'Asti Casa Scarpa is ideal to drink in combination with a homemade tajarin with meat sauce or with a tasty second course of meat.

The winery Antica Casa Vinicola Scarpa, or simply Scarpa, is a historic winery of Asti, founded at the end of the nineteenth century in Nizza Monferrato. The turning point came in the first years after the second World War, when the young owner Mario Pesce began to take care of the company directly. The company Scarpa soon became a point of reference for many red wines of Piedmont, especially for Barbera.The vineyards of the winery Scarpa are located on slopes between 330 and 440 meters above sea level, in a particularly sunny position:  they can enjoy very cool temperatures at night, such as to preserve the natural acidity of the grape. Recently the company has bought some land in the Langhe area, on the hills of Verduno, La Morra and Neive, thus expanding its production with Barolo and Barbaresco wines.One of the basic principles of the company is to give maximum care and attention throughout the wine production process, starting from the work in the vineyard to the final stages in the cellar.
