Vigna La MandorlaBarbera d'Alba Superiore Doc

Luigi Spertino

Vigna La Mandorla is a more intense and complex version of Barbera, usually vinified simply. The wine takes its name from the Mandorla locality, in Mombercelli, where the 60-plus-year-old vines stand at 230 meters above sea level that are cultivated only by hand without the use of mechanical means for the utmost respect for nature.Read more
