Place: Monferrato — Piedmont, Italy

Variety: Barbera

Farming: Organic

Sette is a splendid vineyard in Nizza Monferrato, with 5.5ha of vines aged between 20 and 75 years. Purchased in 2017 by friends Gianluca and Gino, they set about converting the property to organic farming immediately. They have committed to planting more than forty old tree varieties of local fruit and tall trees per year.

Their rosato is wonderfully lifted and pretty on the nose. A story of red fruits and fresh herbs. Drink cool, but not cold, with a generous spread of antipasti on the last of the warm nights.
