Luigi Ferrando has long been the leading producer of wines from the Canavese region, where his family’s winemaking tradition goes back to 1900. Canavese is part of Piedmont, located at the frontier of the Valle d’Aosta, the very edge of Piedmont, an area renowned for its steeply terraced vineyards. This is a serious Piedmontese rosso, vinified in stainless steel and bottled 12 to 15 months after harvest. The Barbera brings a bold flavor to the Alpine Nebbiolo, which leads a floral cherry note to the wine. There is a great value to be found here.

Grapes: predominantly from Nebbiolo with roughly 30% Barbera and a touch of a local variety known as “Neretta”.
