BARBARESCO  D.O.C.G.  
 
ORIGIN    Barbaresco, the Prince of wines, was once a simple Nebbiolo wine, till when it was named like the village where it is grown.
The area where Barbaresco is produced  comprises the villages of Barbaresco, Treiso and Neive,  and a small part of Alba San Rocco Seno d’Elvio.
 
Barbaresco   is made with grapes grown in estate vineyards in  the village of Treiso. The finest expositions, the reduction of the grape bunches with thinning out process  and the over-ripening in the vineyard give to the grapes the maximum concentration to make this wine.
