Made with fruit from old vines, the 2015 Barbera d'Alba Affinato In Carati is only produced in the best vintages. The first vintage made was 1988. The wine stands out for its natural freshness and energy that is especially balanced and focused in this warm vintage. The 2015 growing season was ideal for a grape with naturally high freshness like Barbera. The Scavino family has done an excellent job of pulling out the elegant side of this grape. This is not always an easy feat. The vines are planted in limestone-rich soils and these conditions also help to soften out any rough edges. This wine should hold ten years, if not more.

A stunning Barbera, enticing for the floral and black cherry aromas and flavors, but also the silky texture and seamless harmony. Intense and resonant, with a saturated finish that echoes dark fruit and spice.
