Barbera del Monferrato "I Cheini" is crafted from the winery's oldest vineyards. The extended maceration on grape skins and aging in wooden barrels impart a rich complexity, making it ideal for pairing with game and aged cheese. Also celebrated as a "meditation wine" to savor slowly with a good book.
