“Desiderio,” named after an imposing Chianino bull from the 1800s who lived on the Avignonesi estate and was famous for his extraordinary size. In his honor “Desiderio,” today Avignonesi produces the wine of the same name, a Tuscan red made from merlot and cabernet sauvignon grapes.

Barbaresco Rabajà DOCG, produced by Giuseppe Cortese, is made from the exclusive vinification of Nebbiolo grapes. After manual selection, the best bunches are transported to the winery for fermentation. Subsequent aging from 20 to 22 months takes place in Slavonian oak barrels, followed by another 10 months in the bottle, to achieve the potential for excellent tasting immediately after bottling, but also after several years of storage.
