The grapes, selected from different plots of land, are harvested from the end of September onwards. The wine remains on the skins for a period of 15 days, which helps this Barbera to develop fruit aromas and flavours and gives it a better structure. The wine then matures in Oak barrels for two years. The bark of the Cinchona Calisaya tree and Quassia wood are infused in alcohol, together with Gentian, Cardamom seeds, Juniper berries, Tonka Beans, Mace and Chamomile. The extracts thus obtained are added to the Barbera. The mix is matured in small Oak barrels for about six months until the right balance of the different components is reached. After bottling this wine can age for more than 20 years.
