Frasca Barbera D’Asti DOCG

Name: Frasca Barbera D'Asti DOCG - Vinumlector
SKU: IT0694

Located in Nizza Monferrato, in the heart of Monferrato Area (Piemonte); 20 km from Asti and 30 km from Alba, the Frasca Winery consists of 22 hectares of vineyards, embracing the municipalities of Nizza Monferrato, Agliano Terme and Moasca.

Founded in 2018 by Curt Frasca (Italian American wine connoisseur, fallen in love with Barbera and Monferrato) and Matteo Gerbi (formerly WM of iconic Wineries such as G.D. Vajra and Bruno Giacosa), these vineyards have been selected with patience to enhance the different characteristics of the territory and are managed with care and passion, to respect the Earth and Man.

Frasca Barbera d’Asti DOCG is an energetic, fruit-forward, and beautifully balanced Italian red wine made from 100% Barbera grapes. Sourced from sustainably managed, 25-year-old vines in the Asti region of Piedmont, this bottling represents the estate’s classic, vibrant expression of the varietal before stepping up to their structural Nizza DOCG tier.

For Frasca , this is the real essence of Barbera: rich red fruit flavors on the nose; its distinct freshness making it very versatile. On the label, the moon phases dictate the time of work in the vineyards, promising great results.
