The Barbera d'Asti comes from the small Bionzo vineyard, which covers just 5 hectares. Some of the vines here are extremely old – up to 100 years. This is quite rare. As a result, the yield is extremely low, but the quality speaks for itself. La Spinetta can only produce 10,000 bottles from these 5 hectares. But the result speaks for itself.
