Monleale Evoluta 2018 Vigneti Repetto is a Barbera that originates from the Monleale subzone, which involves production from selected vineyards and an aging period of at least 20 months, of which at least 6 months are in wood.
The distinctive feature of this Barbera is its structure and its fruity fragrance. The refinement process takes place in wood, 12-24 months in 500-liter French oak tonneaux, which highlights its evolving potential and a rich, complex, and long-lived character.
