Folli e Benato Barbera d'Asti

When two Italian friends, Folli and Benato, set out on their shared journey through the rolling hills of Piedmont, they were drawn by more than just the picturesque landscape. Piedmont, with its diverse terroirs and storied winemaking tradition, became the heart of their passion, and the result is this Barbera—a wine that captures the very soul of the region.

Hand-harvested Barbera grapes from late September are transformed through native yeast fermentation, followed by a careful six-day maceration in stainless steel. The result? A wine that’s as approachable as it is complex. Imagine ripe black cherries and fresh, lively acidity mingling with floral-tinged red berries, all underpinned by a vibrant, mineral freshness. The supple black fruits are wrapped in a silky, smooth finish that leaves you wanting just one more sip.

Folli & Benato have crafted a Barbera that’s all about the balance of fruit and terroir, a true reflection of their love for Piedmont. It’s a wine that speaks of sun-soaked days and cool nights, where the land itself lends its character to every bottle. A testament to small-batch winemaking with a big heart, this Barbera is your ticket to a taste of Piedmont, no passport required.
