Ascheri Barbera d'Alba "Fontanelle" DOC

In a world where wines are generally produced using the same grapes, the same technology, the same additives, the same oak for aging and above all the same wine makers, our aim is to obtain a wine which is the expression of the vineyard it comes from, of the grapes it is made of, and above all of our own ideas. The most faithful expression of the vineyard and the grape variety, interpreted according to our own ideas of elegance, finesse, natural concentration and balance.
