Castello di Verduno
Perched at the top of the tiny Verduno village, on the northern edge of the Barolo zone, Castello di Verduno is one of the historic estates of Barolo. The castle was originally built in 1500, and it is here that nebbiolo was first vinified in the style that would become Barolo as we know it today.
Barbera d’Alba
Lifted notes of blackberries and red cherries with new leather and dark spice, over a core of tight minerality. This is barbera in a classic, un-showy style.

Barbaresco 'Rabaja-Bas'
Castello di Verduno Barbaresco Rabajá Bas comes from one of the most famous Barbaresco cru. The vineyards lie 300 metres above sea level and are planted on calcareous-clay soils called "Marne di Sant'Agata". Bas in the name alludes to the fact that grapes are only chosen from the lower section of the vineyard to produce a wine with greater depth & concentration.
In the winery, Castello di Verduno Barbaresco Rabajá Bas is fermented in stainless steel tanks for about 20 days with native yeasts and macerated in wooden vats for about 40 days. It is then aged for 20 months in Slovenian oak barrels and finally rests in the bottle for 18 months before being sold.
