Attilio Ghisolfi 'La Lisi' Barbera d'Alba Superiore

The passion for wine has been alive for 4 generations in the Ghisolfi family in Piemonte. But until about 30 years ago, this small family business mainly grew fruit. But also wine grapes to sell to local cooperatives.

Son Gianmarco Ghisolfi saw the potential of their vineyards. And decided to make and bottle wine himself from 1988 under the name Attilio Ghisolfi. The focus is on the Piedmontese grape varieties Nebbiolo and Barbera. Ghisolfi is known for their Barolo from the famous vineyard 'Bussia'. But this Barbera d'Alba is also one of their gems.

The most famous appellations for Barbera are of course Barbera d'Asti DOCG and Barbera d'Alba DOC . Barbera from Alba is known for its dark color and strength. Barbera from Asti stands out for its finesse and length.

Maturation in small oak barrels (barriques) is preferred by many Piedmontese winemakers. This way the typical acids of Barbera are well softened and a spicy wood aroma develops.
