Barbacàn "Rosso Alpi Retiche" 2021

Barbacàn, a family winery in the awe-inspiring Italian Alps, is a true hidden gem. Angelo Sega and his sons, Luca and Matteo, epitomize the term "artisanal antiestablishment." Their heroic efforts are dedicated to cultivating Nebbiolo, locally known as Chiavennesca, on steep slopes in San Giacomo di Teglio, Valtellina, bordering Switzerland. As grower-producers, they tackle this challenging terrain with unwavering passion and dedication, hand-picking grapes from vineyards over 450 meters above sea level. Their natural winemaking philosophy eschews chemicals and industrial yeasts, embracing minimal intervention. Barbacàn's commitment to detail results in wines that epitomize finesse, flavor, and elegance, preserving Valtellina's unique character. Certified organic, Barbacàn is a rare gem in the region, crafting wines that are unique, classic, modern, and unforgettable.
