The vines are planted where the Piedmont slopes gently at Canelli and the Barbera grape can develop its depth. The name is reminiscent of Cesare Pavese, the great son of these hills – and his most famous work "La Luna e i Falò". Like the novel, this wine also carries a quiet melancholy, paired with expression, maturity and identity. Matured in barriques and large casks for around a year, this is a Barbera full of character and modern at the same time.

Dense ruby colour with a purple core in the glass. The aroma opens with dark cherry, plum, some liquorice, fine herbal spice and a hint of chocolate. The palate is powerful, soft and full-bodied, with supple tannins, well-integrated acidity and a lingering, spicy-fruity final. A Barbera that cleverly combines tradition and zeitgeist – serious, accessible and rightly one of Vite Colte's most popular wines. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich ruby red colour with a slightly brightening rim. Intense aromas of light malt and violets on the nose, followed by wild berries and a hint of dark chocolate. Sweet and fruity on the palate with supple tannins, drinky and with a long final." Falstaff

"Opulent bouquet with aromas of maraschino cherries, chocolate, also Mediterranean scrub; invigorating start, then a lot of melting with perfectly integrated tannins, the finish spicy-fruity and of great length." Vinum

"Bright cherry fruit on the nose with plums, mulberries and dark chocolate. Juicy and fruity, with a medium to full body, soft tannins and bright acidity." James Suckling
