Natale Simonetta has been at the helm of Cascina Baricchi since 1996 when he took over the reins of what had been the family business since 1979. The Christmas entry led to an important qualitative growth; the new ideas made it possible to combine tradition and innovation, resulting in a production with a strong personal character.

wine description

The Langhe is a historic region of Piedmont located between the provinces of Cuneo and Asti, consisting of an extensive hilly system defined by the course of the Tanaro, Belbo, Bormida di Millesimo and Bormida di Spigno rivers. The hilly area of the Langhe has always been dedicated to viticulture, thanks to the particular constitution of the marly calcareous soil and the fortunate climatic exposure. Soil and climate are the two fundamental elements that have generated optimal hydrogeological conditions for the culture of the great Piedmontese vineyards such as Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and Moscato, which outline the slopes and plains of the area.

It comes from a small vineyard in the municipality of Neive planted in 1913, of the Rosé variety. Vinified with the traditional submerged cap technique. Macerates in contact with the skins for 25 days. Refines for three years in unroasted 600-liter barrels, before passing the same amount in the bottle. The production is very limited and is around 7000 bottles per year.
