Product Description

This is a new operation run by one person, Marco Minnucci. Marco does one thing and he does it very well. He only makes Barbera d’Asti. Marco comes from good stock having worked at Roberto Voerzio, who makes some of the most sought after Barbera in Italy. Marco recently stepped out on his own (with a little Swiss financial backing). Marco currently makes two wines (soon to be three with the 2015 vintage), a vineyard blend that is aged in stainless steel (called Primevi) and a single vineyard Barbera d’Asti that is aged briefly in neutral oak barrels (called Briccone). The vineyards are maintained without the use of any chemical fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides. Yields are limited to a mere 2-3 pounds of grapes per vine.
