"…When in Monastero Bormida you have to look for Barbera d'Asti Superiore di Sessanea - Azienda Vitivinicola Giulia (tel +39 0144 889007), which has unparalleled elegance and significance.

The famous Dutch Guide PERSWIJNE reviews our wines. Barbera stands out.

"... This Sessanea Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore is dangerously drinkable. It has everything. In addition to the spicy, you can recognize cardamom and pepper, black currant fruit. But also minerality and acids. Always a box in stock!"

Rik Rensen tells the story of life in the Piedmont countryside.

In the distance I see him working among his vineyards. It is a spring day swollen with clouds. The sun, which occasionally peeps out from behind a cloud, emits an unusually sharp light. Vintner and winemaker Franco is among his vineyards - shears in his right hand ... "Making a good wine is first of all a question of good pruning", Franco warmly greets me. "A deep and bold pruning. Only in this way will the plant be able to feed that bunch of grapes that will remain hanging. These are also the best grapes".
