Barbera d'Asti Garesio 2021

You discover some wineries by drinking a bottle at the restaurant, others because they are tenaciously inspecting territories in depth, others still because they are recommended to you by great wine lovers. It is this last road that led us to meet Garesio, a very young reality in the southern part of Serralunga d'Alba. Our first meeting, accompanied by Doctor Briss, we had with Alessio Canepa, who takes care of the commercial part, but who underneath has an experience and knowledge of the Langa such as to be able to compete with anyone who frequent the noble area of ​​Italian wine. With such a contact we could not hold back and we left immediately to touch the company first hand. Founded in 2013, the winery is under the watchful eye of Giovanna Garesio who has formed a very young team for the family project. Here comes the figure of Federico Zagami, cellarman and enologist, precise and meticulous, accompanied in the choices and management by Gian Luca Colombo, a figure now associated with straight, vertical and never grumpy wines. And these are the characteristics that are appreciated when tasting from the barrels. In the vineyard there is the desire to intervene as little as possible to give light to the terroir, while in the cellar long fermentations are favored using Stockinger woods for the top wines. For Nebbiolo, on the other hand, steel tanks are used. But there are also concrete barrels where the wines pass before ending up in the bottle. Garesio brings a refined touch of Langa into the bottle.
