About this wine

Donna Elena is Cascina delle Rose’s Barbera d’Alba Superiore, dedicated to Giovanna’s sister and sourced from east-facing vineyards in the commune of Barbaresco on lean, mineral-rich stratified soils. After careful organic farming and hand harvest, the Barbera is fermented in stainless steel before ageing about 20 months in large Slavonian oak casks, followed by further bottle ageing. Previous vintages show complex aromas of cherries, plums and black cherries in eau-de-vie, with cinnamon, cloves and cocoa; the palate is intense, balanced and deep with elegant tannins and a long, persistent finish – the 2022 follows the same profile with a fresh, concentrated fruit core.
