The Ezio T. estate is a Barbera specialist located in the Asti hills in the hamlet of Vianoce. The winery is based in the early nineteenth century complex of Agliano Terme, which has been in the family since the 1920s. At this time, two brothers, Secondo and Serafino were running the winery. The estate now makes one of the longest-lived and most profound examples of Barbera to be found in all of Italy. The family believes that the underrated Barbera grape is a variety capable of producing wines of profound complexity and serious longevity, if cultivated from old vines in top sites and vinified to allow graceful evolution in bottle. With this in mind, the family farms all of their vines organically and are extremely meticulous with their viticulture.
Tasting Notes:
Complex Nose: The wine boasts a complex nose with enticing aromas of dark fruit and spice, and exhibits high natural acidity, balanced by notes of ripe fruit and a mineral character.
Aging Potential: With good length in the mouth, it denotes proper aging ability - with proper storage, 5-8 years from vintage date.
Winemaking Approach:
Ezio T. follows natural winemaking practices, including ambient yeast fermentations and organic viticulture.
The estate’s old vines, some dating back to the 1920s, contribute to the profound complexity of their Barbera wines.
Their flagship wine, the Barbera d’Asti “Vigna del Noce”, is planted in the hills of Asti and undergoes meticulous treatment.
