Pescaja - Soliter 2024 Barbera d'Asti DOCG
Sun, Earth, and the Purity of the Grape Variety
The name Soliter sums up the philosophy of Pescaja: a fusion of sun, earth, and the unique character of the people who work it. This Barbera d'Asti DOCG comes from vineyards located in Cisterna d'Asti, on sandy and calcareous soils that give it explosive aromas and great elegance. Vinified and aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks, Soliter enhances the varietal in all its integrity, without any oak overtones.
