Meet the Producer

Barbanera SRL is based at the foot of Mount Cetona in Tuscany, a region famed for its exceptional grapes. The estate combines traditional Tuscan winemaking with modern techniques, guided by a passion for quality, innovation, and heritage.

Production

Grapes are harvested when around 80% ripeness is achieved, then undergo a 2–3 week drying process at 16°C to concentrate sugars and acids. After destalking, cold maceration occurs at 0–4°C for 4–6 days, followed by fermentation in steel tanks and concrete vats at controlled temperatures up to 24°C. Portions of dried grapes are reintegrated post-fermentation to enhance structure and complexity. The wine is then aged in old barrels before bottling.
