About the wine

A Barbera from Barbaresco, fermented with native yeasts and matured in stainless steel and large Slavonian oak barrels. Further bottle ageing gives Donna Elena time to settle before release.

About Cascina delle Rose

Established in 1948, Cascina delle Rose sits on five hectares, of which three are planted with Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo. It is an incredibly immaculate and meticulously-run estate. The family practices organic farming — the utmost respect given to the earth — with all the vine care done manually. No herbicides are used, and they only use a minimal amount of copper and sulphur in the vineyard - aiming towards as minimal an environmental impact as possible.
