Barbera d'Asti Superiore La Galleana DOCG 2022 - Barbera Sei Castelli
Our reviews:
Barbera d'Asti Superiore La Galleana
La Galleana is a Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOCG that embodies the essence of the area winemaking, a wine that delivers both power and elegance in every sip. Produced by Cantina Sociale Barbera dei Sei Castelli, it originates in the heart of Monferrato, a land devoted to Barbera. Here, the perfect balance of calcareous-clay soils, ideal altitudes, and southwest and southeast exposures ensures optimal grape ripening. The vinification process follows a traditional approach, featuring careful fermentation and nearly a year of aging in French Oak Barriques, which imparts complexity and aromatic depth. In the glass, La Galleana displays a deep ruby red color, hinting at its expressive richness. The nose is enveloping, revealing a fragrant bouquet of ripe red fruits, dominated by cherry and plum, elegantly enhanced by spicy and toasted undertones from barrel aging. The palate is full-bodied and harmonious, with soft tannins and lively acidity, ensuring freshness and excellent drinkability. Perfectly suited for traditional Piedmontese dishes, La Galleana pairs beautifully with Barbera-braised beef, tajarin with meat ragù, and aged cheeses. Its structure and complexity make it ideal for special occasions and refined dinners, a wine meant to be shared to celebrate the richness and heritage of Monferrato.

Cantina Barbera Sei Castelli
Located in the charming village of Agliano Terme, the Cantina Sociale Barbera dei Sei Castelli is the largest producer of Barbera d’Asti in the region, a true benchmark for Piedmontese viticulture. Founded with the aim of enhancing the grapes from six original municipalities—Agliano, Castelnuovo Calcea, Moasca, San Marzano Oliveto, Costigliole d’Asti, and Calosso—the winery has grown to include over 260 members and approximately 800 hectares of vineyards, with a strong focus on the Barbera grape. The name Sei Castelli (Six Castles) is inspired by the six historic castles that dominate these picturesque villages, offering breathtaking landscapes that frame the rolling hills of Monferrato—a land historically dedicated to viticulture. Thanks to a unique combination of calcareous-clay soils, favorable altitudes, and a temperate climate, the winery fully expresses Barbera’s potential, crafting wines with remarkable character and authenticity. Beyond Barbera d’Asti DOCG, the winery produces a selection of wines that embody Monferrato’s winemaking traditions. Among them, the Nizza DOCG, made from carefully selected Barbera grapes, stands as a symbol of local excellence. The portfolio also includes Grignolino d’Asti, Monferrato Dolcetto, Cortese dell’Alto Monferrato, and Piemonte Chardonnay, showcasing a diverse range of expressions from this exceptional territory. With a strong heritage and a passion for innovation, the Cantina Sociale Barbera dei Sei Castelli remains a cornerstone of Piedmontese winemaking, crafting wines that tell the story and identity of a truly unique land.
