Alberto Ballarin

In La Morra, Alberto Ballarin's family makes two kinds of red worth knowing: Barbera d'Alba for drinking while you wait, and Barolo, led by the single-vineyard Bricco Rocca, for the cellar.

About Alberto Ballarin

Cascina Ballarin is a small family-run estate where Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto grow on calcareous clay soils in the Langhe, and all the wines come from its own grapes. Alongside the Barolo there are Dolcetto d'Alba and Langhe wines.

The Barbera d'Alba is aged in Slavonian oak and is the easier bottle to open young. The Barolo spends more than two years in wood and a further eight months in bottle before release, and Bricco Rocca is the bottle for the cellar.
