The Barbera Superiore Campii Raudii takes its name from a Roman battle in 101 BC.
Obtained from grapes grown in an organically cultivated small vineyard atop Bricco Rivoli in Alba, at 320 meters above sea level, this Barbera is designed for long ageing, reflecting a patient winemaking process that includes natural fermentation, extended skin maceration, and prolonged ageing in both oak and bottle. After fermentation, the wine is matured in 40% old barriques, 30% one-year-old barriques, and 30% two-year-old barriques for 15–18 months before bottling, with an annual production of around 3,000 bottles.
Barbera Superiore Campii Raudii shows a deep ruby red color with garnet highlights and an intense bouquet featuring blackberry overtones, complemented by notes of toasted coffee, tobacco, ink, and spice. On the palate, it is warm and rich, finishing with a pleasantly tannic structure balanced by natural acidity and oak ageing.
This Barbera pairs perfectly with barbecues, hearty red meats, and game, and accompany beautifully mature hard and soft cheeses, as well as blue cheeses, thanks to its long, persistent finish.
