This wine is made of 100% Barbera. We would pair it with a braised lamb shank and roasted nightshade veggies (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant). 'Priora' is a selection of two well-exposed Barbera vineyards, that, according to the 'Superiore' designation, ripen more aggressively and carry a heavier "grape must". The heavier must translates to a fuller grape with more complexity, higher alcohol, and a greater capacity to age and develop. The juice is fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak barrels for 12-14 months. What results is a heavily complex and structured Barbera, which we normally associate with being brighter and fresher with more youthful vibrancy.

Details

From the winery: The heart of the company lies in the large eighteenth-century house with sober and majestic lines, close to the historic center of Verduno.

Gian Battista, his wife Flavia, his brother Alessandro and his son Vittore are the proud witnesses of the family's centuries-old tradition and passion for winemaking and represent the 7th and 8th generation of wine producers (the first 3 generations as Fratelli Dabbene and then Fratelli Alessandria following a marriage around 1870).

The winery vinifies exclusively its own grapes, and has maintained a family dimension. These requirements allow for a direct and “personal” relationship with the individual vineyards and the individual barrels, an invisible but important thread that we hope can reach and “excite” the consumer through the bottle.

The “priòra” is a selection of two vineyards particularly well exposed and suitable for the cultivation of Barbera. Aged in wood for over a year, this wine aims to enhance the complexity, richness and longevity that the grape can express.
