The Secondine Barbaresco is an Old World wine in the best sense of the term, as this Italian exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. After being hand-harvested, the grapes are immediately brought to the winery. There they are sorted and gently crushed.
