Cascina San Lorenzo
Barbera d'Alba
Cascina San Lorenzo is a project involving Enrico Rivetto, Alessio Povero and Charles Lazzara (President of Volio). The line was created in honor of Charles Lazzara’s first child, Lorenzo, born in 2014. Coincidentally, San Lorenzo is also the name of the patron Saint of Alba, a famous winemaking region where both Enrico and Alessio have wineries of high regard.
The idea behind this line of wines is to offer extremely high-quality varietal wines from the North of Italy at exceptional pricing using estate grown grapes on young vines between the two estates.
Tasting Notes
The vineyards used to make this wine come to harmony from historic sites in Serralunga d’Alba, Sinio, Santa Vittoria d’Alba, and Canale. Our idea was to combine the more structured vineyards of old vine Barbara from Sinio and Serralunga with fresh, ripe character from the other side of the Tanaro river to create a very approachable, high-tone fruit focused Barbera d’Alba.
