All Vergano products are made by the same process in very small quantities in the Vergano lab in the city of Asti. A botanical extract (concia) is made by macerating carefully sourced herbs, flowers, fruits and spices in a neutral, beet-sugar-based spirit for 20 to 30 days in 30-liter, stainless-...

100% Muscat à Petits Grains. Canelli is the historic cradle of Moscato d'Asti production and Bera lies in the heart of Canelli. The Bera family was the first to estate-bottle Moscato d'Asti, starting in 1964. As of recently, the highest classification for this overcommercialized category of wine is...

100% Barbera. Though the calling card of Bera is their Moscato d'Asti, they also grow Barbera in the Canelli hills of Piedmont. Ronco di Malo is the parcel of the oldest Barbera vines, which average 50 years (formerly a much higher number but the the 80-year-old vines had to be replaced not long...

100% Dolcetto. Bera has a 0.8-hectare parcel of 40-year-old Dolcetto vines on their estate in the Canelli hills. The vineyard is certified-organic and harvested by hand. The bunches are destemmed and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in 50-hectoliter concrete tanks without sulfur or...

2019 was the debut of Barolo Perno, from the Santo Stefano di Perno sub-section, facing east, with Arenarie di Diano d'Alba sandstones, more sandy than Schiavenza's Serralunga plots. This makes for a somewhat more lithe Barolo. A rare chance to taste a Barolo at 13.5% without losing typicity!

Schiavenza’s 0.9 hectares in the Prapò cru are located at 350m above sea level, with southeast exposure; the vines were planted in 1993.  Of all their crus, this is the one in which the soil is most representative of Serralunga: its high percentage of light-colored limestone naturally limits yields...

Sourced from 2.2 hectares in different vineyards in Serralunga d’Alba, at altitudes of 370-400m. The oldest vines date back to 1965, while the youngest were planted in 2006.  

100% Barbera from vines located in Perno in the village of Monforte d'Alba, on the right slope in front of Castiglione Falletto. The vineyard sits at 350m with a western exposure. Harvest is usually at the beginning of October.  Fermented in concrete and aged for 18 months in large cask.   

100% Barbera. From estate parcels scattered about the steep hills of the Monferrato zone of Asti around the Verruàs' home village of Scurzolengo. The average age for the Barbera vines is around 40 years. The family farms organically, tending and harvesting them entirely by hand. The grapes are...

Barbera/Freisa. From estate parcels scattered about the steep hills of the Monferrato zone of Asti around the Verruàs' home village of Scurzolengo. The family farms organically, tending and harvesting the vines entirely by hand. The grapes are destemmed with berries kept whole and gently pressed...

100% Grignolino. From the same grapes as Marcaleone, but selected to carry out a vinification aimed at a long refinement (two years in stainless steel, barrique and terracotta and two years in bottle).   

100% Timorasso from the north-facing vineyard parcels of Rampone and Simonelli (2 hectares total), planted between 1996 and 2016 at 300m on silty calcareous soils. Harvest was between September 17th and 19th at yields of 4,000 kg/hectare (about 24 hl/ha) The grapes are whole-cluster pressed....

Rossore, 100% Barbera, was Fabrizio's first wine. The name refers to the red flush on one's cheeks after drinking it.  It comes from different south-facing parcels planted between 1985 and 1990, harvest at the end of September or beginning of October. Vinification is in concrete with 21-28 days of...

Natalin is made with 100% Grignolino.   Natalin was also Fabrizio's grandfather's nickname and Grignolino was the wine he loved the most.  This wine comes from a few different vineyards, planted in 1970, 1990, and 2016 with east, west, and north expsoures.  Fermentation in concrete vats with 12...

TA-DA! is a co-harvest/co-ferment of Pinot Nero, Baratuciat, Slarina and Grignolino. Pinot Nero harvested on late side of ripeness, Grignolino on early side.  Fermented and aged in concrete.

Malidea is 100% Nebbiolo.  It's also the name of the hill between the cantina and where the Nebbiolo vines were planted, in 1999.   "Mal' idea" in Italian means "bad idea," an apt name for a Nebbiolo wine in the land of Barbera, but a challenge Fabrizio wanted to take. The south-facing vineyard was...

In the history of Barolo, before the prevalence of single-cru bottlings, it was more common to blend fruit from sites of differing exposure, altitude, and soil type in order to obtain a more expressive and balanced wine.  Baudana's Barolo Serralunga combines fruit from the younger vines (planted...
