Notes & Flavors
The Barbara Vho is called like a village, Vho, nearby the hills where Claudio Mariotto grown his grapes. This shows how for this incredible winegrower the landscape and the territory are essential elements from his bottles of wine. This Barbara combines in a very unique way the ancient gesture to take care of the grapes learned from one century of winemaking by Mariotto family. The Vho keeps elegantly the fragrance of its terroir so in every sip it’s easy to find the smoothness of the shapes of the hills, as evidence the intense flavor of mature cherry. The Vho owe is rich and balanced structure to the cold climate of the winters and to the wind that caresses the hills, situated near the Appennini mountains. This features, combined with its beautiful and rich bouquet, confirm the Vho as a great example of Barbara wine.
