Umberta is first of all a friend after whom we have named this Barbera. As we consider the Barbera to be a feminine grape, this seemed appropriate!
The wine is fresh, fruity, clean and easy to drink. We firmly believe that the entry level wine of any producer should above all be approachable and eminently drinkable.

The cellar is based in a traditional 17th century Piedmontese cascina in the village of Montaldo di Cerrina. Its vaulted cellars provide an ideal environment for both the winemaking area, (equipped with small stainless steel tanks), and two barrel halls - one below ground that maintains a stable temperature all year round, and one at ground level where the wines undergo malolactic fermentation.
