The label is confusing. It seems to suggest the vines are grafted. The phrasing of the sentence makes me wonder if this is badly translated from Italian. The info sheet on the webpage suggests yhat there are original pre-phylloxera vines and vines that are propagated by cuttings, but states there is NO grafting onto American rootstocks. Does anyone know what the truth is? — 8 days ago

Here is the description in Italian: "Prodotto in una delle ultime vigne arcaiche di Langa, museo a cielo aperto della viticoltura di un tempo, di età superiore ai 100 anni, le uve derivano da piante prive di innesto e propagate per talea, che dunque hanno mantenuto intatte nel corso dei decenni tutte le originali caratteristiche della Barbera." This suggests to me some original vines, and some plants from cuttings, but my Italian is spotty.

The btl says drink 4-6 yrs from vintage, but this is just lovely right now. Starting to show a touch of secondary, but some pineapple, coupled with a hint of that noble struck match. I brought this up since none of that Condrieu showed really well...all a touch oxidized, which was really disappointing.
