This Barbaresco has a garnet red colour with orange tinges. In the glass it gives off ethereal and spicy fragrances, with light vanilla and flowery notes. It's generous and on the fruity side, yet has an elegant, very delicate demeanour - sour cherry, black plum, blueberry, hints of cardamum and vanilla spice. The tannins chalky and powdery. It's well-balanced with a persistent finish.

Producer Info: Situated in Neviglie, near the Barbaresco DOCG, the Bera family estate has been a benchmark for the Langhe since the mid-20th century. The location is particularly advantageous: sharing Barbaresco's celebrated terroir, yet with hillside vineyards that offer their own distinct expression of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Moscato.
The family's story begins with Valter Bera, who dedicated decades to elevating the reputation of Neviglie's wines. At a time when the region was still little known, his focus on quality vineyard work and authentic winemaking helped establish the estate as a point of reference for Moscato d'Asti and Dolcetto. That commitment to the land and to honest expression remains the foundation of Bera today.
Guided today by brothers Riccardo and Umberto, the estate has taken bold steps forward. Their energy and precision in both vineyard and cellar have seen Bera expand into Barbaresco with impressive results, capturing the elegance and depth of some of the area's most prized crus. More recently, the acquisition of vines in the Mosconi cru of Monforte d'Alba has marked the family's arrival in Barolo, where they are already producing wines of concentration, structure and vibrancy that reflect the pedigree of these sites.
Together, Riccardo and Umberto are affirming Bera's place among the new generation of Langhe producers-rooted in family tradition, yet unafraid to modernise and push into new territory.
