Olivetta Barbera del Monferrato Superiore

Barbera Superiore was one of Olivetta’s first products and is definitely their signature wine. A complex wine, aged in wooden barrels for 12 months, with a good structure and characteristics that will make you appreciate it over time, also thanks to a small percentage of Freisa grapes.
