2015 | Azienda Agricola Bosco Agostino | Volupta Barbera D Alba Superiore

On the attack, the wine is powerful and structured. The complex aromatic character echoes on the palate, with a perception of vanilla. This impression is provided by the prolonged aging in barrels (70% new). Ripe and enveloping, the tannins invite you to sit down to eat. Despite its high alcohol content, this red appears particularly balanced.

Producer Information

The farm’s primary business has always been in wine-growing, with especial attention up until the 1970s to grape production. In 1979 the grapes so carefully grown were removed from the market to make room for wine-making, bringing to the market the wine that until then had been limited to family consumption. This new enterprise was met with so much success that Pietro was soon joined by his youngest son Agostino, who worked with patience and precision and was gifted with intuition for work in both the vineyard and the cellar. After the death of his father (1983), Agostino continued working on the farm, demonstrating such commitment and love for the work as to involve his wife Carla and to find in the world of wine a passion for his son Andrea as well, who received a wine-making diploma at Alba’s Scuola Enologica and has dedicated his life to continual research and experimentation of the mysteries of this fascinating art. Today the farm continues to be run as a family business with one goal: achieve grapes of the maximum quality to be transformed into a wine with personality rendering it special and unique. In March 2006 the extensions of the cellar structures was completed, increasing the underground aging area and the bottling area on the ground floor to 150m2 each, in addition to the construction of new tasting and office facilities.
