In the vineyards near Monte Santoccio, dedicated to the production of red wines, some Garganega grapes effortlessly withstand the test of time, coming from vines more than 50 years old. For the Barabao, about half of the grapes undergo a drying period of about 40 days during the September harvest, relatively early for the Garganega. The remaining grapes ripen fully on the vine and are harvested in October. Then all the grapes are vinified together in the cellar. Here they mature for 6 months in stainless steel tanks, followed by a year of bottle aging. The unique “double harvest” of Garganega grapes results in a wine that sparkles like the sun, with a beautiful, intense and brilliant golden yellow color. Upon tasting, the Barabao reveals a structured complexity, with aromas of Mediterranean herbs such as sage, rosemary and bay grass. After a few minutes in the glass, the aromas develop into a slightly smoky bouquet with hints of almond paste, cognac and saffron. The enjoyment of Barabao is like an invigorating dip in the southern seas, which is powerful yet elegant on the palate, with salty notes and a subtle nuance of spirit and honey. Let your senses be enchanted by this unique creation of the Garganega grape, an ode to the sun-drenched terroirs of Monte Santoccio. Serving temperature: 10-12° C
