Description

Clementina Cossetti is the fourth-generation winemaker in the heart of Asti, where her family has been farming for well over a century. Within the current vineyards where vines are on average 30-years-old, the yields are kept low and historically Barbera has performed exceptionally.

This wine, made from the Albarossa grape, has an intense ruby red colour with purple reflections, clean and ample bouquet with scents of red fruits and light spices, full-bodied and fleshy palate, with good structure and softness.

Cossetti

Cossetti combines traditional winemaking techniques with modern practices to produce wines that reflect the rich heritage and unique terroir of the region. The winery is particularly known for its expressive Barbera d'Asti, which showcases vibrant fruit flavours and balanced acidity, as well as its robust Nebbiolo-based wines with complex aromas and structured tannins.

Piedmont

Piedmont or Piemonte, located in northwestern Italy, is renowned for its prestigious and diverse wines. The region's varied climate and rich soils, particularly in the Langhe and Monferrato areas, are ideal for viticulture. It is famous for its robust reds, especially Barolo and Barbaresco, both made from the Nebbiolo grape, known for their complex aromas, rich tannins, and ageing potential. It also excels in Barbera, producing wines with vibrant acidity and cherry notes, and Dolcetto, offering fruit-forward, approachable reds. On the white side, Gavi, made from the Cortese grape, is known for its crisp, refreshing character. Piemonte’s blend of traditional winemaking techniques and modern innovations offers a rich and sophisticated wine experience.
