Albarossa
Albarossa is about Bricco dei Guazzi: the heart in Monferrato with an eye on Piedmont. A vine, created in 1938 by Professor Dalmasso, which found its home on the hills of Monferrato and on the Bric di Olivola. Its roots lie in a terroir defined as a Cru by Veronelli. Its grapes give life to a strongly identifiable wine as the result of a virtuous balance of two grape varieties: Barbera and Nebbiolo, interpreted by the elegance of Bricco dei Guazzi.

Frequent pumping over allows excellent color extraction and good body.
