Barbacan Fracia Riserva is a red wine made from 100% Chiavennasca, or Nebbiolo, grapes grown organically in Valtellina, Lombardy, under the appellation Rosso di Valtellina DOC. This wine is from their steepest vineyard and sees long maceration on the skins followed by ageing in large botti. They are magical wines, a surprise everytime. Like wandering down an alley and finding an amazing club to dance at.
Barbacan are the keepers of one of the more joyous wine-related Instagrams out there, full of choreographed dances, incredibly steep, rocky vistas and just a general joie de vivre. They also make magnificent wine. Angelo Sega and his sons Matteo and Luca are based in the Valtellina Alps of Lombardy, where their seven hectares of vines are dedicated to the famed Nebbiolo, and the less famed but equally impressive Rossola, Rossolino Rosa, Brugnola and Negrera. They consider themselves protectors of the region and its viticultural history.
