Ghëddo Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOC 2022

Country: Italy

Region: Piedmonte

Type: Red Wine

Grape: Barbera

Founded in 2014, Ghëddo is the brainchild of Giovanni Pippia and Mattia Benedetti, childhood friends with no family ties to Barolo who have nonetheless forged their own path in Piedmont. Giovanni and Mattia consider Ghëddo to be the most beautiful word in the Piedmontese dialect—a word that communicates authentic, enthusiastic initiative and the verve with which it is pursued. They have dedicated themselves to protecting vineyard biodiversity, observing organic viticultural practices, and vinifying wines that are at once traditional and natural. Overall production at Ghëddo is miniscule --Giovanni and Mattia tend to just three hectares under vine. With a centuries-old cellar in Monforte d’Alba and a reimagined shack-turned-tasting room in La Morra, these longtime friends are engaged in an imaginative project that transcends any one village and instead embodies the collective spirit of the Langhe. 

Aromas of boysenberry, red currant, fresh herbs and forest floor. The palate highlights tart red fruits with vibrant acidity and superfine tannins, finishing with a distinctive earthy and herbal note.
