Castelzola rosso

FOREVER BARBERA

In our memories, Barbera was the wine in straw-covered wine bottles in the most ancient cellars of Bologna – it’s part of our local history.
Through the years, Barbera has left the Lodi family with a rich heritage of knowledge which we have concentrated in this bottle, which is dedicated to our area and to the vineyard it comes from.
The elegance of royalty.
Going straight to the heart, just like love does.
It’s gained tannins from maceration with its mature tannins, it spends three years ageing in raw concrete, then it’s ready to last for years.
A wine that’s as wise as a film star!
