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 at the same time modern.

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

"Bright ruby red with purple-coloured edges. Fragrant nose of violets, cherries and raspberries. Shows clear fruit and crisp acidity on the palate, fine-grained tannin with animating tension, presents itself with fine spice on the finish, persistent." Falstaff

"Seductive nose with notes of blackberries and herbs, liquorice and vanilla; characterful texture, the acidity invigorating and perfectly integrated, notes of bitter almonds and blackberries on the lingering finish. Has a future." Vinum

"A very attractive mix of ripe strawberries, blueberries and cherries with crushed herbs, dried flowers and spices on the nose. So refined and delicious on the palate. Silky and smooth with a medium to full body and a lingering finish. Generous yet fresh and balanced." James Suckling
