Barbera’s vibrancy tempered by Nebbiolo’s structure and restraint.

Structured

Vibrant

Elegant

Persistent

A composed blend where freshness and tannic architecture are held in balance.

Nose: Dark cherry and blackberry from Barbera layered with dried rose, spice, and subtle earthy tones from Nebbiolo.
Palate: Medium-bodied with vivid acidity and finely woven tannins. Barbera brings juiciness and drive, while Nebbiolo contributes grip, floral lift, and structural depth. The interplay creates tension without heaviness.
Finish: Long and composed, with savoury nuances and a gently firm close.
Serve: Cellar temperature, never warm. Open it an hour ahead and give it air; too warm and the alcohol takes over.

Sibling to L'Informale, with more power: the 2023 is structured and deep.

A Nebbiolo and Barbera blend from young Nebbiolo vines planted in 2021 on the east-facing side of the hill.

Vines: 70% Nebbiolo, 30% Barbera.
Soils: Predominantly calcareous clay, lending both vibrancy and tannic definition.
Farming: Sustainable viticulture with manual harvest and careful bunch selection.
Cellar: Spontaneous fermentation in steel. The two varieties are blended before bottling.
Additions: Minimal sulphur.
