La bigotta was a pious woman who lived next to our Barbera vineyard. She was much more concerned with the rules and appearances of religion than the spirit behind it. We added the spirit.

Tasting

A ruby red colour with purple tints. A rich, intense and persistent perfume, well-evolved, with sensations of liquorice, violet, plum and vanilla. Fruit and spice emerge on the palate, with flavours ranging from roast coffee to stronger yet nicely balanced spices, vigorous and intense. Its rich expression is due to the spices that envelop the flavour of ripe plum (the most evident fruit), conveying a suave and potent touch. Ideal with roast meat, game and hard cheeses

2016

Bigotta 2016 comprises both a cold, mineral part and a warm, carnal part. Fine spice, sensory compactness, excellent definition. A very tempting predominant syrupy note fills the nose and palate.

2015

A rich, intense, persistent Barbera, with a fruity elegance of liquorice, violet, plum and vanilla. Very spicy, with toasted notes.
