Barbaresco DOCG “Marchese Dalmasso”

Barbaresco DOCG “Marchese Dalmasso” embodies the nobility and elegance of the Langhe. Born from Nebbiolo, grown on clay-limestone soils at elevations between 180 and 400 metres above sea level, it expresses a unique character, capable of combining power and finesse. Considered one of Piedmont’s most aristocratic wines, it is renowned for its extraordinary ageing potential, reaching its peak expression between 10 and 15 years.
