Tastingnote:
Clear ruby with a slight purple tinge. Shows very clear and balanced with dark cherries, mulberry, saffron and dark chocolate in the background. Juicy and salty on the palate, shows a lot of grippy tannin that opens in many layers. Salty, very good flow, reverberating with a long finish.

Tastingnote:
Very dense, dark ruby, black core. Opens with notes of malt and dark bread crust, dried plums and pickled cherries in the background. Opens nicely on the palate, then displays ripe fruit notes, finely-meshed tannins with good tension, lots of juicy fruit on the finish, still seems very young.

Cascina Garitina is founded in 1900 and is a family-run farm, now in its fourth generation with Gianluca Morino, the current owner, supported by Pasquale, Alessandra, Gaia and Veronica. The name of the company is due to the great-grandmother Margherita, whose diminutive “Margheritina” in dialect is precisely Garitina; she started the business back in 1900 then continued by her grandfather Giovanni and her parents Pasquale and Assunta. The activity of the farm is oriented towards the enhancement of Barbera, the vine that extends over most of their vineyards, and to which the land with the best exposures are reserved. In particular, the oldest vineyards are dedicated to the production of Nizza docg. The vineyards are located in the heart of Alto Monferrato, in the southern sector of Nizza DOCG and are divided between 85% Barbera and the remaining 15% between Brachetto, Dolcetto, Pinot Nero, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
