It was the year 1862 when a wine from Piedmont won the Gold Medal at the London Exposition. That nectar, presented under the name of Neive, was none other than the ancestor of Barbaresco, the Nebbiolo grape ‘rooted’ in the municipality of the same name and in restricted neighbouring areas of which it is said to be able to transform traditional dishes, such as roast pheasant, into an authentic ‘food fit for a king’. Only with well-considered and natural ageing in barriques does the grappa made from Barbaresco marc express an invincible combination of Piedmontese dried fruit notes and spicy perceptions.
