BARBERA D’ASTI SUPERIORE - Poggio Le Coste

Poggio Le Coste is located in the province of Asti, in an area particularly suited to the

production of high-quality, world-renowned wines.

It is one of the largest single-holding estates in Piedmont, formerly owned by the

noble House of the Counts of Buneis. It is characterized by a splendid natural amphitheater of over

100 hectares that hosts the company's vineyards, between 250 and 350 meters above sea level.

The bond with the land and tradition is further strengthened by the desire to promote

the local native grape varieties, ambassadors of Piedmontese wine around the world.

SOIL TYPE

In the municipality of Asti, on the rolling hills of the Asti area: the soils have a

loamy-clayey texture, sub-alkaline, deep, and evolved on eluvial-colluvial deposits

covering the older formations attributable to the Lugagnano Clays and the Asti Sands.

VINIFICATION AND AGEING

After pressing and destemming the hand-harvested grapes, the traditional

red vinification takes place with a long period of maceration on the skins for 10 to 15 days.

Aging in tonneaux lasts approximately 12-14 months, and after bottling, the wine is left

to rest for another 9 months.
