Tenuta Olim Bauda, Barbera d’Asti, La Villa 2017 Piedmont

Barbera 100%

Sustainable agricultural practices, following the rules for integrated farming which prohibit the use of herbicides. Rigorous green harvesting and bunch selection in the vineyards ensure that only perfectly ripe fruit is harvested.

The harvest in the Bauda vineyard takes place in the first week of October and grape selection is by hand. Immediately after having been harvested, the grapes are pressed in the Estate cellar and then poured into stainless steel vats. Maceration along with alcoholic fermentation lasts 12 days.

In 2000 the three current owners, all siblings, decided to revive the estate and re-establish Tenuta Olim Bauda as one of Piedmont's top producers. With a little help from famous wine consultant Beppe Caviola. Their range of Barbera d'Asti have won huge acclaim including 3 Bichieri from the Gambero Rosso for the last 3 vintages of the top Barbera 'Nizza' and 92 points from Robert Parker.
