Stradivario
Barbera D'Asti DOC superiore
This name was not chosen by chance. The dedication to the well-known violin is
due to the amusing but tried and tested theory that particular sounds accompany
particular tastes during concerts in the wine cellar.
Stradivario is a Barbera d’Asti Superiore made from grapes harvested at Cocconato,
on the calcareous hills of the high Asti region. Deeply rooted in this area for
a four generations, the Bava family has kept the oldest vineyard for the production
of these red grapes. They give a pure, long-lived Barbera, made in accordance
with international rules that reward strength and depth, without denying territorial
identity. The grapes are harvested very ripe, and the yield from vineyard is kept
low. Wine making is characterized by moderate contact with air and delicate maceration,
immediately followed by fining in new barriques. The outcome is a well-defined
wine, extraordinarily rigorous, which recurs and keeps for years. Its outstanding
elegance and superb aromatic precision come from its fining, masterfully merged
with the Barbera character.
