Az. Ag. Barbacan, Rosso di Valtelina 2019

Mostly Chiavennasca, or Nebbiolo as you may know it. Deliciously fruit driven with pulsating peppery, alpine herbal spine. Fresh as, good acid, tasty tannins, batter up.

Top producer, stunning instagram account. They make really good wine and take the piss whilst doing it, which is something I fully endorse. The Sega family are totally committed to Chiavennasca, and preserving it's integrity, with over 30 clones planted in their nursery. Farming and winemaking are natural, with the aim being to produce a wine that is the true expression of the vintage. Stainless steel, concrete or old oak vat are the chosen vessels here. Pure fruit is the goal.
