Villa Giada, Andrea Faccio producer page

Villa Giada's 'La Quercia' is a wine named after an old oak tree that stands in the vineyard.
This Barbera is made from the best grapes selected from this Agliano vineyard. Fermentation lasts three weeks in steel vats where the wine also goes through a malolactic fermentation, after which it rests before being transferred to the traditional 7hl (7000 ltr) barrels where it languishes for just under a year. This is a typical recipe of the area which Andrea has pretty much perfected (in my opinion).
