Cascina Gavetta – Barbera d’Alba – 2016

Cascina Gavetta is a small company in the municipality of Novello where Silvio Cogno and his family work the vineyard again as it once was, where time seems to have stopped and nature is the master. Winery that represents the dream of bottling what the Cogno della “Gavetta” family has handed down for centuries: the art of working the land and preserving its cultural heritage. The work in the vineyard is meticulous, in the cellar the fermentations are carried out in steel containers and for the most important wines the aging takes place in oak barrels.
From a vineyard with an average age of 30 years, facing south-east and soils rich in sand and clay, Silvio Cogno produces an amazing Barbera, soft, enveloping and with the right final acidity. Maceration takes place at a controlled temperature and lasts 3-4 days. The aging takes place in old French barriques for fifteen months. The super limited production is 2500 bottles.
