Made from \u003cstrong\u003eBarbera\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it stands out for its full-bodied and structured style, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003ewell-balanced freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its aromatic profile reveals intense notes of black cherry, plum and mulberry, enriched with hints of spice, chocolate, vanilla, leather and tobacco. On the palate, the harmonious texture and \u003cstrong\u003efine, velvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e lead to a long and elegant finish, making it ideal for pairing with flavourful roasts, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red is born in the heart of the Langhe, around Alba, from \u003cstrong\u003ehistoric vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e tended by Bel Colle. The rows of vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soil\u003c\/strong\u003e streaked with veins of gypsum, a geological composition that gives the wine excellent concentration and a precise flavour profile. The vines grow in a \u003cstrong\u003enatural amphitheatre\u003c\/strong\u003e with south-west exposure, a privileged position that ensures optimal afternoon sunlight. In this setting, the grapes ripen developing an authentic and profound territorial character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e and careful selection of the bunches, aimed at keeping yields low to enhance the quality of the fruit. In the winery, a gentle fermentation at controlled temperature takes place, followed by slow maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, including Allier oak, which enriches its aromatic profile. An \u003cstrong\u003eeighteen-month ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e period finally allows the wine to reach its full expression, offering a fleshy, persistent and harmonious tasting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Le Masche”, a term in the Piedmontese dialect meaning witches, is a tribute to the magic of the Langhe, created to enchant with its seductive elegance.
