Winemakers notes:

The 2017 vintage has been characterized by a long summer season with very little rain. In the vineyard, we have thus adopted agronomic practices that would enable us to preserve humidity in the soil and the freshness of the grapes. Special work on the soil has been done to oxygenate the roots, we have avoided de-leafing to prevent direct sunlight from hitting the bunches, keeping them from having burns, and we have delayed the thinning of the leaves so as to not risk damaging the bunches. Lastly, in order to ensure elegance, freshness and avoid excessive alcohol content, we have started harvesting ten days before the usual date. (20 /27 September). Elegant sweet flavour, excellent structure and silky tannins are the distinctive traits of 2017 Barbaresco wines ” Stefano Chiarlo, winemaker
