L’Uccellone was the nickname of a woman who lived on the hill where the vineyards were located. Her nose looked like a bird’s beak and she always wore black, and this is how she got her nickname in the village.

Grape variety: 100% Barbera

Vinification: The Barbera grapes from the legendary vineyard "Uccellone" are harvested by hand and processed immediately. After the gentle crushing of the grapes follows a careful maceration during 20 days at controlled temperature. The young wine is then aged for 15 months in barriques and another twelve months in bottle.

Tasting notes: Intense ruby with purple highlights. Beguiling, multi-layered, seductive nose with lots of ripe dark fruit, toasted notes, dark chocolate and some pepper. Lush and taut on the palate. Voluminous, with dense structure. Again dark fruit, cherries, notes of warm spices. Long, juicy and very harmonious finish.

Food pairing: A must with Piedmontese specialties and noble meats in sauce.

Alcohol content: 16% vol.
