Year 2011 represents the fiftieth anniversary of the Barberani wine estate. The story of our family has always been written by two figures, Luigi and Giovanna - and has been characterised by their respective passions: the indigenous grapes and the Botrytis. The local varieties reflect the most ancient tradition of our area and denote wines of great structure and complexity. The Botrytis “Noble Rot” enhances the elegance and the aromatic quality of our grapes, in a voluptuous play of poetry and feelings. From the union of these two passionate visions, “LUIGI E GIOVANNA”, comes the most representative wine of this mutual love for wine and life.
