The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

After the grapes for this Barbaresco are harvested, it ages for a full eighteen months in large Slovenian barrels in the cellars of Cascina Ghercina. During this extended period, it matures and develops its distinctive flavor. Thanks to the rigorous grape selection, it has a remarkably pure taste. The aroma offers a broad bouquet of black fruit, berries, balsamic vinegar, and notes of fresh flowers. The palate is full-bodied and ripe, with abundant hints of blackberry, currant, and lavender, as well as nuances of orange, plum, and jam. Very elegant and ripe!

Brothers Paola and Guid Ghercina are following in the footsteps of their father and grandfather, representing the fourth generation of winemakers in the family. Cascina Ghercina has been a household name in the Piedmont region of Italy for almost 150 years. They strive to produce wines for wine lovers passionate about Piedmontese wines and constantly seeking quality and tradition. Respect for the region, a constant commitment to excellence, and genuine passion: these are the values ​​inherited from the four generations of producers from which Cascina Ghercina originates, combined daily with the technologies that modernity offers.

The vineyards are located southwest of the Piedmont region at an altitude of 360 meters in the municipality of Alba. Cascina Gherina's wines are all made from grapes grown on the estate (not cooperatives) and offer excellent value for money. The name Cascina Ghercina comes from the Ghercina River. Thanks to this river and the high altitude, the grapes benefit from an exclusive microclimate. The grapes for this wine are grown in four villages in the Barbaresco district. This wine immediately stands out with its garnet-red color with orange hues. The floral bouquet, with notes of red fruit jam and geranium, also comes to the fore. Perfect for elegant occasions!
